Newcomers' classrooms Explanation: I live in Catalonia and am familiar with what "aulas de acogida" are and do. I would avoid "reception" because it refers to something else in the UK education system: the kindergarten class (5-year-olds or thereabouts). Aulas de acogida are for all ages. |

reception class Explanation: Not "center", which is more like an info hub/office for new arrivals. The "aulas de acogida" in Catalonia and elsewhere are actual classrooms with a special focus on teaching to meet the needs of immigrant students. I know this because I've translated several published articles on this area. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 11 hrs (2020-10-23 08:03:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: When specifically focusing on host language acquisition, they are known as ATALs (aulas temporales de adaptación lingüística) -> temporary language adaptation classrooms. I've just received a 9K article on the subject for translation, which is nice :-) Example sentence(s):
