dc.description.abstractThe first attempt that one should make while talking about Refugee Studies or Migration Studies especially while teaching to any group of migrant youngsters about any particular text is to define under which category does that particular text fall, i.e., whether the text has been written by any migrant author who pens his/her experience as a migrant, or the content of the text is about migrants and their experiences in a particular place. The texts are roughly classified by scholars as into sub-categories of Migration Literature or "Ecriture Migrante/Ecriture Immigrantes" within the discipline of Literature. In a classroom before teaching these migrant texts it is necessary to build trust between the migrant student, the institutional system and the teacher to develop a sense of inclusivity that might make the migrant student a little more comfortable about reading migrant literatures and corelate with its relevance.
