‘There is time to leave, and there is time to come back’. Polish migrants’ decisions about returning from international migration

Return migrations are a special type of migration experience. Children from migrant families returning to their home country face many challenges when they start their education in a new education system, which often also concern foreign students. The aim of the article is to present the functioning of children from families of return migrants in Polish schools in terms of linguistic and (inter)cultural challenges, especially important during the first period of adaptation to the new school environment. The text is theoretical in nature and is based on the analysis of the available literature on the subject. The two types of challenges required to focus on the linguistic perspective, especially the glottodidactic one, and the pedagogical perspective based on the approach and research in the field of intercultural pedagogy. The analysis will allow to formulate conclusions important for the educational practice of children from families of return migrants, taking into account the specificity of this group.
