Language: Spanish, French and English
Session Type: Oral
Undoubtedly, one of the main challenges that current societies face is the incorporation of the descendants of international immigrants. This is the case not only in Western societies, but also in other regions of the planet where horizontal migrations take place.
Among the different dimensions of the accommodation process, language is one of the most important aspects. Its influence ranges from the acquisition of the language(s) of the society, which influence integration in the school or the workplace, to the symbolic value of the majority and heritage language(s), that connect with factors such as identity and culture. All this has important repercussions in their socio-educational, socio-cultural, identitary and work integration.
Therefore, the main objective of this joint session is to include proposals that reflect and analyze the wide spectrum of linguistic processes that influence the integration of the descendants of migrants, from different theoretical and methodological approaches.
