Migrants in Working life: Language, identities and positions (ReNMigrantsWL) (External organisation)

Activity: Membership typesMembership in research network

Description

This AILA Research Network (AILA ReN) investigates the language practices of employed and employment-seeking migrants, using a range of theoretical and methodological approaches.

We focus on how migrants construct identities when working in a second language, and when (if ever) they are positioned as legitimate members of the new language and work community.
We explore the perceived barriers faced by migrants who range from low-income workers to highly educated experts.
We pay special attention to policies and practices adopted in different national and work-related contexts.
