Managing Plurilingual and Intercultural Practices in the Workplace: The case of multilingual Switzerland
Edited by Georges Lüdi, Katharina Höchle Meier and Patchareerat Yanaprasart
Published by John Benjamins Publishing Company

The contributions in this volume stem from different lines of research and represent both a continuation and an advancement of the European DYLAN project. The book addresses the meanings and implications of multilingualism and plurilingual repertoires as well as the ways in which cultural diversity is managed in companies and institutions in Switzerland. Characterized by official quadrilingualism, but also by new dimensions of multilingualism resulting from massive immigration, important workforce mobility and increasing globalization, Switzerland offers an ideal laboratory for studying phenomena linked to multilingualism and cultural diversity.

On the one hand, a special focus is put on the best practices of diversity management and language regimes with particular attention paid to the interplay between official languages and English, and to ways of leveraging diversity awareness, fostering cultural inclusiveness and enhancing intercultural learning in vocational education and training.
