Differentiated Borders of Belonging and Exclusion: European Migrants in Rural Areas in Iceland
This article addresses questions of difference, positionality, and belonging from the perspectives of international migrants living and working in rural communities in Iceland. With the recent integration of rural areas into the global economy, small villages and towns have undergone rapid social transformation. The development of new industries and growing tourism in these localities has attracted many international migrants. The share of migran…

Adult Immigrants’ Perspectives on Courses in Icelandic as a Second Language: Structure, Content, and Inclusion in the Receiving Society
This article aims at a further understanding on the role of formal language education in immigrants’ inclusion and identity redefinition in a new society. We analyze adult immigrants’ perspectives on education in Icelandic as a second language (ISL) by conducting a cross-analysis of a survey and various ethnographic studies. Many immigrants in Iceland report dissatisfaction with language courses and prefer to have courses better tailored to their…

The Icelandic language has a central role in defining Icelandic nationality. Given its importance in defining Icelandic nationality and as a precondition for citizenship, the article studies what learning the Icelandic language means for the growing numbers of immigrants who have arrived in Iceland in recent years. This ethnographic study presents immigrants' perspectives on learning the language to be able to participate at work as well as gain …
Icelandic for adult foreigners: Effects of imposing an Icelandic language test
Legislation linking language course attendance and passage of a language test for residence visas and citizenship, respectively, was enacted in Iceland in the early 2000s. Curricular guidelines and the language test were developed as a result. Research in other countries suggests such structures cause teachers to create de facto policies aligning with legislative goals. We explore here whether school administrators and teachers of adult foreigner…

Retrospective insight: Reflections on the specialist's role in developing an Arapaho language assessment protocol
Awareness of my unwitting role as a specialist in Fairclough's terms caused me to revisit my actions in the course of developing testing procedures and materials for Arapaho language classes in a local school district. I realize now that I could and would have supported the Arapaho teachers' positions more forcefully, had I been more aware at the time that their suggestions were attempts to maintain an Arapaho ideology and practice in the face of…
The interplay of genres, gender, and language ideology among the Muskogee
Contrary to statements made by previous researchers, Muskogee women are linguistically active in ceremonial public spheres, though through the use of genres that differ significantly from men's. One of the genres performed in these contexts is “gossip,” which is described by some Muskogee men as a dangerous genre. This article explores why Muskogee women's and men's linguistic practices differ so strikingly in the ceremonial sphere, and what wome…
