Tittel

Language and language practices in academia - Interaction in a professional environment with internationally recruited academic staff

Vitenskapelig sammendrag

The overall goal of the project is to increase the understanding of what can contribute to equal interaction between international employees and their Norwegian counterparts in Higher Education. Understanding of the language practices and attitudes toward language use at the universitys' various faculties is necessary to ensure the integration and active participation of both Norwegian and international employees in the workplace. The aim is for all employees to have equal opportunities to make use of their personal and professional resources in a workplace community.

International employees are defined as persons born outside Norway, with a first language other than Norwegian, Swedish or Danish, who hold internationally advertised positions.

This study aims to gain new knowledge about the workplace as a language arena, emphasizing language interaction in informal and formal situations in a professional environment. 

The main questions are:
1. What language practices and language attitudes are present?
2. How are language/cultural differences in interaction between colleagues handled?
3. What language practices are perceived as appropriate in different situations?

The research project will be conducted as a qualitative study.

Professor Marit Greek and Professor Kari Mari Jonsmoen, Academic Language Practice (AKS), at the University Library, are the responsible researchers.
