Series Statement:
Routledge Studies in Language and Intercultural Communication
Content:
This book critically reflects on the challenges faced by refugee aspirant professionals in securing employment and the ways in which professional intercultural competence development and attendant language learning practices can help facilitate the professional (re)integration of these communities. The volume draws on data from a large-scale research project which saw refugee aspirant professionals, researchers, and volunteer language teachers working together to develop and operationalize key intercultural skills needed for professional employment in the UK, the Netherlands, and Austria, ultimately culminating in toolkits of free online resources co-designed to meet the needs of communities and facilitate the development of these practices across Europe. Detailed analyses of the data drawn from the project allow for critical reflections on co-production in intercultural spaces and researchers⁰́₉ positionality, power relations, and ethical choices in multilingual contexts. Taken together, the book offers both theoretical and practical considerations for application beyond the European context toward better facilitating the professional (re)integration of migrant communities on a more global scale. The book will be of particular interest to students and researchers in intercultural communication, refugee studies, and language education.
