Social Inclusion Through Collaborative Translation: Language and Identity

Minority language speakers such as domestic migrant workers and South Asians in Hong Kong often encounter difficulties in integrating into mainstream society. This presentation sets out to explore the interplay between majority and minority language speakers in a service learning course that promotes social inclusion. It also analyses the ways in which the participants’ different cultural identities draw upon their intercultural communication practice when they engage in the activities to collaboratively translate and produce multilingual media content.
