Mapping Participatory Approaches in Health Care Provision for Older Immigrants in Europe
Europe faces the dual challenges of population ageing and increasing migration, resulting in a growing demographic of older immigrants with complex healthcare needs. Despite extensive research on ageing and migration, regional evidence on healthcare provision for older immigrants remains fragmented. Participatory approaches that integrate the voices and experiences of older immigrants can improve cultural sensitivity, accessibility, and health eq…

Assessment of Academic Writing for Undergraduate Nursing Students during Covid-19
Language teaching, learning, and testing are often discussed as a complex process, and the relationship between language proficiency and content knowledge in assessment is also reported as a complicated issue. In this process, what to learn and how to learn are influenced by cognitive motivation, yet cognitive motivation is determined by individuals&s; affect. In mainstream classrooms, curriculum, course design, materials, and assessment are ofte…
Continuity and change
Catalonia is an interesting site for language ideology research for several reasons. It is a multilingual and multicultural territory, where both Catalan and Spanish enjoy the status of co-official language. Adding to this, over the course of the last two decades there has been a growing movement that has called for the independence of Catalonia from Spain, one which frequently places linguistic concerns at its centre. Against this backdrop, we r…
Language choice and identity in the linguistic landscape of Barcelona
The present research examines the linguistic landscape (LL) of two demographically distinct neighborhoods in Barcelona: Vila de Gràcia and El Barri Gòtic. The aim of this study is to analyze how language choice among Catalan, Castilian, and English indexes collective and individual aspects of identity in written messages on public walls. All transgressive artifacts in both communities were documented, and the language(s) and theme of each message…
La lluita continua
Recently, the Spanish state has cracked down on efforts to hold a public referendum on independence in Catalonia. To understand the local dimension, this article explores the linguistic landscape (LL) of Girona, a city in northeast Catalonia. In a context of political upheaval in the region, we examine how the ongoing push for independence is manifest in the LL of Girona. Through adopting a qualitative approach to data collection, we attempt to d…
Language attitudes in Catalonia
In a context of increasing linguistic diversity and political uncertainty in Catalonia, this article reports on a research project which set out to explore the attitudes of members of six pro-independence sociopolitical organizations operating in the city of Girona toward Catalan and Spanish. On the basis of six focus groups and ten narrative interviews, this article analyses the respondents’ language attitudes using Ruiz’s framework of language-…
Amic o enemic ? Immigration and the Catalan Struggle for Independence
Immigration has extended to regions with sub-state nationalist movements, such as Scotland, Friesland, the Basque Country and, as is the focus of this research, Catalonia. In a context of political upheaval in the region, this article aims to examine the impact of the successive waves of immigration to Catalonia on the modern independence movement. The respective status of the immigrant population in Catalonia is a major issue about which there i…
