Sjösvärd K. and Braddell A. (2017), Using workplace learning to support linguistic integration of adult migrants – Lessons from a decade of work in Sweden, in Beacco J-C., Krumm H-J., Little D. and Thalgott P. (eds) (2017), The linguistic integration of adult migrants - Some lessons from research / L’intégration linguistique des migrants adultes - Les enseignements de la recherche, De Gruyter Mouton, Berlin / Council of Europe.
Short paper that reviews learning from a decade-long series of large-scale projects to support linguistic integration of adult migrants employed in adult social care in the Stockholm region. Despite the assumption that employment was in itself a guarantee of language learning, at the outset it was found that for many migrants, secure long-term employment in the sector had led to very limited progress learning Swedish. The projects set out to remedy this, developing a holist approach that enabled the sharing of responsibility for language development.
