Abstract

This paper investigates the transformative role of English Language Teaching (ELT) in the lives of refugee and migrant learners. It emphasizes how ELT empowers displaced individuals by enhancing communication, fostering social inclusion, and rebuilding self-worth. Drawing from educational theory, applied linguistics, and refugee studies, the paper examines inclusive pedagogies, trauma-informed practices, and culturally responsive teaching. It highlights challenges such as interrupted education, psychological trauma, and sociopolitical marginalization. Using global case studies and a rights-based framework, the study underscores the need for coordinated policy, teacher training, and community engagement. Ultimately, it calls for a humanistic ELT approach that supports resilience, agency, and belonging.
