‘Acculturation’(Berry, 1997)
Language & Communication
Language teaching institutions are in a position to enable migrant students’ habitus to re-tune themselves to the new social fields that they find themselves in, thus better enabling them to acquire capital. This process is enabled and catalysed by students pursuing integrative strategies, and by living in host-culture environments which themselves support integration.
Conclusions:

What are their limitations?
