“…This was also expressed from the volunteers, whose participation in the conversation clubs afforded them a different perspective on their own lives (P7, P8), helping to remove stereotypes and assumptions about certain ethnic or cultural groups (P9), and feeling a sense of being important and useful for someone else (P1). Such transformation within the host community is a key part of the two-way integration process (Evanoff 2006). These social bridges, whether between refugees/asylum seekers or with volunteers, were found to require time and trust (P3, P6, P7) in order to develop.…”

Integration through participation: The effects of participating in an English Conversation club on refugee and asylum seeker integration Abstract: The integration of refugees/asylum seekers is a complex process that is affected by factors such as reasons for fleeing one's home country, linguistic proficiency, education, housing issues, and reception from the host community. While past research has focused on these issues, there is a lack of attention on the development of practical and psychological integration skills through participation in a social space of mutual accommodation (Berry 2005). This article fills this gap by analysing the relationship between mutual accommodation and integration in relation to spaces for language acquisition and the resulting impact of participation. This study illustrates, from the migrant perspective, how language acquisition in terms of resettlement not only focuses on linguistic proficiency but also on how such spaces provide a supportive place of refuge and support. This research underscores a deeper discussion of the migrant new speaker profile, providing evidence for ways in which to broaden an understanding of this key shift away from previously held notions of the native versus non-native individual. Ethnographic research was conducted in two UK-based conversation clubs. Data analysis followed Braun and Clarke's (2006) Thematic Analysis structure.

“…assimilation, separation, marginalization), is seen as the most beneficial way of migrants' incorporation in host societies (Berry, 1997;Evanoff, 2006) because it enables migrants to both selectively preserve norms of their cultural heritage and actively engage in contacts with members of host countries. As a consequence, the latter also tend to critically reassess their norms and values in order to accommodate this diverse population with different cultural backgrounds.…”
