Projectomschrijving

This project investigates how policy makers’ investments in improving linguistic competences in order to increase employment rates among immigrants are put into practice. The project proposes a sociolinguistic ethnographic analysis of the role of language in the different stages of the activation trajectories that immigrant job seekers are inserted in in Flanders.
