Abstract

In their article “Katsaus monikielistyvään työelämään” [An overview of work becoming more multilingual] Henna Jousmäki, Päivi Iikkanen and Marja Enbuske note that, in the field of applied linguistics, a lot of research has been done about speakers of languages other than Finnish or Swedish as their first language integrating into Finnish work life. Nevertheless, applying research findings onto practice in working life seems slow at times. The authors suggest that this is particularly noticeable outside big cities.
