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 in these communities. The volume draws on data from
a large-scale research project that saw refugee aspirant
professionals, researchers, and volunteer language teachers working
together to develop and operationalise key intercultural skills
needed for professional employment in the UK, the Netherlands, and
Austria, ultimately culminating in a toolkit 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
researchers' 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.
