Building resilience in times of turbulence
Drawing on theories of agency in LPP (e.g., Bouchard and Glasgow, in: Bouchard, Glasgow (eds) Agency in language policy and planning. Critical inquiries, Routledge, 2019) and educational governance (e.g., Ramiel and Lefstein in Camb J Educ 52(2):217–233, 2022), this study investigates the conditions under which heritage language schools operate outside national support structures. It is based on a linguistic ethnographic case study of a Greek com…
Structural constraints and agentive responses
This study investigates two distinct ways of organising heritage language education within one national context. More specifically, we investigate the teaching of Greek in Sweden through: (a) mother tongue instruction provided by the national education system and (b) a complementary school run by a parental organisation. Drawing on Archer’s morphogenetic approach (1995), where structure, culture and agency are seen as separate but interrelated an…
Turning talk into text
This article examines the literary representation of contemporary urban vernaculars (CUV) in fiction. It focuses specifically on four Swedish novels published in the last ten years, whose narratives are set in the urban and increasingly multilingual, migrant-rich and class-stratified peripheral areas of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. The analysis centers on how they are situated in these urban peripheries, using written representations of spok…
Inkluderingens banor
I denna studie undersöks hur skyddssökande som kom till Sverige 2014-2015 orienteras i en ny tillvaro och hur deras orientering och meningsskapande ändras över tid. Utifrån en longitudinell design där vi intervjuat deltagarna vid två tillfällen med några års mellanrum (2018 och 2022) analyserar vi med hjälp av Sara Ahmeds orienteringsbegrepp deltagarnas levda erfarenheter av handlingsutrymme och inkludering i Sverige. Analysen visar en tydlig ori…
Language as a Key to Society? Perceptions of Language, Belonging, and Responsibility among Migrants in Sweden
In Sweden, as elsewhere, migrants' language knowledge has become a debated topic and a cornerstone in restrictive migration policies. In this paper, we investigate how the metaphor 'language as a key' to society is used by migrant language learners and how it relates to the participants' experiences of learning Swedish. The study draws on interviews with 174 migrants enrolled in three different state-subsidized language educational contexts provi…
Directing Paths Into Adulthood
This article is centred on the tendency to align education for newly arrived students with migration policy. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of interviews with four adult migrant students, we aim to investigate how the participants’ experiences of studying and how they imagine their future intersect with their immigration status. The interviews were conducted when they were first studying a language introduction programme, and then three years la…
Boundaries of belonging
This article uses contemporary Swedish fiction to explore sociolinguistic phenomena, and argues that literature constitutes an important arena for studying the (re)production and circulation of sociolinguistic experiences and ideas at a particular time and place. It builds on qualitative analysis of 65 Swedish books, published between 2000 and 2020, which depict protagonists with multilingual and migrant backgrounds. The study examines patterns o…
Language for work and work for language
Language inevitably plays a key part in the infrastructure of transnational domestic work. Many who work and have worked in the domestic sector in Sweden have Swedish as their second language. The object of this study is to investigate the ways in which this fact is reflected in the marketing of domestic work historically as well as currently. Drawing on two datasets - personal advertisements by job seekers published in a Swedish daily during the…
Continuity and change
This article aims to explore continuity and change in adult migrants’ experiences of Swedish for immigrants (SFI), a state-subsidised language programme for basic Swedish. The study has a longitudinal and comparative design, drawing on discourse analysis of qualitative interviews conducted with language learners in 2001/2002 and 2015/2016. This period was characterized by important societal shifts, defined by increased migration, growing tension …
Negotiating co-participation
Performance and ideology in speaking tests for adult migrants
Language learning linked to migration is an important issue in many contemporary societies. This article discusses how adult migrants following a L2 Swedish course express beliefs on competence, language learning and language use during a test event. The theoretical framework is based on performance theory and the Bakhtinian notion of addressivity. Drawing on an interactional analysis of 27 video-recorded paired speaking tests (a candidate-candid…
