Drawing on the analysis of multilingual interactional practices, the article sheds light on some of the opportunities for learning that emerged as a result of translation, translanguaging and receptive multilingualism.

Les analyses s´appuient sur un ensemble de données ethnolinguistiques recueillies pendant des leçons de français auxquels ont participé des réfugiés syriens et irakiens à Luxembourg. En analysant leurs pratiques interactionnelles plurilingues, cet article signale les possibilités didactiques favorisées par les pratiques de traduction, translanguaging et le plurilinguisme réceptif. Il aborde l’importance de ces pratiques pour l´élaboration d´un répertoire de ressources permettant aux réfugiés de communiquer dans un contexte plurilingue comme le Luxembourg.
