Sprache im Beruf

Kommunikation in der Aus- und Weiterbildung – Forschung und Praxis

Sprache im Beruf (SpriB) focuses on the role and function of, as well as the requirements for, communicative skills in the job-training domain. The editors take for granted the increased significance of research that probes the interface of language/communication and job (training) contexts. Competences of this kind answer to current issues of labour migration and the concomitant increase of people seeking professional and social integration through, with and in a (second) language in particular.

The journal addresses both academics and professionals concerned with workplace literacy: language didacticists, applied linguists, expert form vocational and economic education studies, practitioners engaged in (advanced) vocational training, or human resource developers. Publications can be submitted in German, English, or French.
