Differing interests in the management of multilingualism in Czech higher education

One of the key issues in this context is the fact that programs accredited in the Czech language are tuition-free, while those in foreign languages are paid.

You, the Young Vietnamese (the "Uninfected"), Simply Cannot Understand Us, the Czechified Bananas
This article analyses media texts written in Czech by young Vietnamese from 2008 to 2017. It aims to: a) describe how the authors categorise themselves and determine whether they construct their identity as hybrid; and b) consider whether these texts contribute to the superdiversification of the Czech space. Three identity versions appear in the material: banana children, young ‘uninfected’ Vietnamese, and the younger generation of banana childre…

Multilingualism in companies
This thematic collection of four papers explores a number of perspectives on companies in which multiple languages are used. The organisational perspective concerns the question of how the presence of or demand for multiple languages in the company is managed – how companies are guided by national and other policies in regard to the use of multiple languages and at the same time, how they create their own internal policies. The individual perspec…

Proselyting is analysed as an instructed action and as a situation in which one part…
