The language for resilience research took place during the winter of 2015-2016 in Jordan, Kurdistan region of Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey. Through interviews, classroom observations and reviews of key documents, the research aimed to identify the links between the concept of resilience and the provision of language education, as well as language use, in those four countries. In this talk Tony Capstick will explain some of these links and provide an overview of what they found out during the field work.
