The Role of Language in the Social Integration of Arab Immigrants and Refugees in the EU ()
ABSTRACT
The present research deals with the specific aspect of the intercultural
issue involved in the social integration of Arab refugees and migrants, namely
the issue of language in relation to
European societies and Greece. Its concept and conception as an intercultural
feature in relation to migration and refugees will be studied. Its usefulness,
competence, and influence in different societies and the role it plays in the
social integration of migrants and refugees will be analyzed. The importance of
the Arabic language for this research is directly linked to Arab immigrants and
refugees and is the tool for transmitting Arab culture over the centuries and
between generations. It is also the means of communication and the meeting
point between Arab peoples. The study of language is a broad and complex study,
but it must be mentioned because of its importance in social integration, as
most refugees and migrants come from Arab and Muslim countries, which speak
different languages.
