abstract: 'Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of ``Korta
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vagen{''''} (The short cut), a targeted language program for qualified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migrants in Sweden, in self-maintaining, well-being and perspectives for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socio-economic integration for foreigners with academic diploma.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach - In-class observations, individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
semi-structured interviews, focus-group interviews and written essays
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were used for data collection. A thematic analysis was applied as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
method of data analysis. Amartya Sen''s capability approach constituted a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
theoretical framework of the research discussion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Findings - Korta Vagen provides various resources for the participants,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some of which (language training and internship) can become real
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advantages for employment. Others (IT, interview training and CV
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
writing) are less translatable into concrete outcomes. The study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggests that satisfaction with the program is modulated by commitment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to one''s professional identity, initial language proficiency, scope of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cultural knowledge, the participants'' goals and the flexibility of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
training offered. The acculturation frame of the program does not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessarily correspond with the objective need of many participants for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quick entry into the labor market.

Originality/value - Insights into the social-psychological aspects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
targeted language training as a measure for socio-economic integration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can serve to enhance educational and institutional policies and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
professional practice.'
