Dealing with Increasing Linguistic Diversity in Schools — the Finnish Example

Abstract

Europe has undergone major changes, and so has its linguistic landscape. Increasing population mobility has left no part of Europe untouched, and has forced several countries to adapt to a variety of challenges. Due to increasing immigration and the empowerment of established linguistic minorities, countries that were officially labelled as monolingual are now recognized as multilingual. Immigration has raised questions typical of late modernity, due to the fact that the uniformity of the nation state has gradually broken down. Within this process an obvious tension has emerged between well-established systems meant for a relatively homogeneous society, and the new, more dynamic reality of diverse languages and a more heterogeneous population. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
