The results showed that the refugees had specific learning needs, they did not know English, and the teachers had lack of didactic materials to carry out the teaching-learning process. Some of these aspects coincided with the ones found by other authors, but basically in other countries, where there is sociocultural immersion in the English language. Consequently, some exercises based on the most frequent language learning needs were designed and presented.enEnglish for specific purposesTeachingLearning processRefugeesDidactic material
