The cases can be used as an introductory element to the lesson and be a motivator for the further discussion and exploration of the selected topic. The selected topics should be also relevant for the migrant learners’ needs and their current life situation. When selecting topic it is also important to take into account the legal frameworks e.g. depending on country of origin of migrants or hosting country various legal regulations can occur, the migrant learners shall be aware of those circumstances.
