New publication: "They have no language" – language ideologies in adult education for deaf migrants
Nora Duggan and Ingela Holmström present a new article about how deaf migrants view their own repertoire and how their teachers view their students' linguistic background. The article is written within the MULDER project, which investigates the multilingual situation of deaf refugees in Sweden.
The paper by Nora Duggan and Ingela Holmström looks at how deaf migrants view their own linguistic repertoires and how the teachers working with these migrants view their linguistic backgrounds. Key findings are the complexity of labelling repertoires, issues of attempting to define communicative practices and how certain repertoires are perceived as having higher status than other repertoires.
The text is published in Journal of Applied Language Science and is available online.
