This roundtable discussion is designed to provoke discussion on the role of technology in language education for migrants and refugees. Are any current technologies relevant or useful? Are they a barrier to genuine human contact and learning? Should they be used much more widely and how might that come about?

Tom Hayton, Techfugees
Dr Michael Thomas, Professor of Language and Global Studies, University of Central Lancashire
