Allgemeines 1.1 Ausgangslage Nach mehrjähriger, komplexer Planungsarbeit konnte im Dezember 2018 im Fürsten- land ein neues Buskonzept eingeführt werden. Damit wird auf die teilweise deutlich geänderten Fahrlagen der Bahn reagiert, gleichzeitig werden einige bestehende Schwachstellen im Netz behoben. Relativ spät im Planungsprozess zeichnete sich ab, dass die S-Bahnlinie S5 (Weinfel- den–St.Gallen) im St. Galler Abschnitt nicht halbstündlich fahren wird. Die Buslinie 740 fährt in Bischofszell praktisch gleichzeitig wie der ganztägige Grundtakt der S5 – damit bestehen zwar zwei stündliche Verbindungen in die Grossräume Wil und St.Gallen, jedoch nur um wenige Minuten versetzt. -

Double-edged sword: How international students on an intensive programme cope with a new national and academic culture where few host culture students exist Item Type Thesis Authors Sweeney Bradley, Irene Citation Sweeney Bradley, I. (2017) 'Double-edged sword: How international students on an intensive programme cope with a new national and academic culture where few host culture students exist' EdD Thesis, University of Derby Download date 01/10/2021 15:47:53 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10545/621839 UNIVERSITY OF DERBY DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD: How International Students on an intensive programme cope with a new National and Academic Culture where Few Host Culture Students Exist. Irene Sweeney Bradley Doctor of Education 2017 ABSTRACT The Work-Based Project (WBP) set out to explore how international students in a Swiss hospitality institution manage to cope with two quite different cultures to where they came from i.e. the Swiss national culture and the British academic culture. Previous research on international students have been in locations where the host culture student is in plentiful supply which is a way to help the international student adjust socioculturally. Within this WBP, the student body is made up of mainly international students and very few Swiss students. Concepts that were used to assist the exploration of this topic include: what influenced the choice of Switzerland and the institution as a place to study, along with how the information was searched for (Mazzarol and Soutar’s, 2002 Push-Pull Model; The Model of International Students’ Preferences by Cubillo, Sánchez and Cerviño, 2006). Hyde’s (2012) adaptation of Oberg’s 1960 stages of adaptation explored culture shock as a concept followed by Berry’s (1997) acculturation and coping strategies. -

Cahiers de l‘ILSL 48, 2016, 53-77. ENGLISH IN THE WORKPLACE IN SWITZERLAND BETWEEN IDEOLOGIES AND PRACTICES Georges Lüdi University of Basel [email protected] Interviewer: Okay. Could you tell to us something about the meaning of the languages in the company? As well as you see this now? From your point of view. MM: Well, this is relatively easy, with us it is English only. (...) so who doesn't speak English, has no future here. Nowhere. (...) and, I'm now speaking about the Headquarter (...) so here it's English (...) there is a dominance of English almost up to arrogance (MM <Agro A>, translated from German) Abstract A widely shared opinion states that English in its international form is particularly suited for the economy. Consequently, a shift from national languages to English as corporate language has been observed in many countries. However, this choice is not based on the results of scientific research, but rather on ideologies. In many cases, the real practices can differ quite significantly from what people think and/or tell they do. This calls for empirical research. In this paper, we will analyse the demolinguistic situation of Switzerland with a special focus on English at work, have a look at the public debate about English and national languages at school and acknowledge the actual linguistic practices in several types of economic environments, in order to answer the question whether English and/or any other language dominates communication at work in Switzerland. Key-words Workplace, English, mixed teams, plurilingualism, language management, communication strategies, language ideologies, plurilingual speech, vocational training 1. -
Switzerland – a Model for Solving Nationality Conflicts?
PEACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE FRANKFURT Bruno Schoch Switzerland – A Model for Solving Nationality Conflicts? Translation: Margaret Clarke PRIF-Report No. 54/2000 © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) II Summary Since the disintegration of the socialist camp and the Soviet Union, which triggered a new wave of state reorganization, nationalist mobilization, and minority conflict in Europe, possible alternatives to the homogeneous nation-state have once again become a major focus of attention for politicians and political scientists. Unquestionably, there are other instances of the successful "civilization" of linguistic strife and nationality conflicts; but the Swiss Confederation is rightly seen as an outstanding example of the successful politi- cal integration of differing ethnic affinities. In his oft-quoted address of 1882, "Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?", Ernest Renan had already cited the confederation as political proof that the nationality principle was far from being the quasi-natural primal ground of the modern nation, as a growing number of his contemporaries in Europe were beginning to believe: "Language", said Renan, "is an invitation to union, not a compulsion to it. Switzerland... which came into being by the consent of its different parts, has three or four languages. There is in man something that ranks above language, and that is will." Whether modern Switzerland is described as a multilingual "nation by will" or a multi- cultural polity, the fact is that suggestions about using the Swiss "model" to settle violent nationality-conflicts have been a recurrent phenomenon since 1848 – most recently, for example, in the proposals for bringing peace to Cyprus and Bosnia. However, remedies such as this are flawed by their erroneous belief that the confederate cantons are ethnic entities. -

Japanese Collections in Switzerland 273 Research and Teaching Must Necessarily Reflect This Newfound Diversity
Panel 2: Japan-related Object Collections in Western Countries (Z%#"#X Hans Bjarne THOMSEN 1. Introduction In Switzerland where I teach, the problems of information management has become paramount within a number of fields, including that of art history. I would like to discuss some of these problems by looking at the collections of East Asian art stored in Swiss institutions. During my lifetime of studies in the universities and museums, there have been radical changes in the way that information is stored, used, and displayed. And the rate of change has clearly gathered speed during the last decade, in an acceleration that seems at times to gather speed with each coming year. In terms of teaching art history, we have gone from photographs pasted on cardboard – the way I was taught at Princeton University – to slides, and then to PowerPoint, Keynote, and other digital media. Now it is not uncommon to embed videos and Internet links into a classroom presentation: something that would have been unimaginable a few years ago. In terms of publishing art history, the possibilities now include Internet publications and E-Books with imbedded links to homepages, JSTOR articles, and images of objects in museum collections. Finally, in terms of museum management we have seen information storage progress from typewritten and handwritten notes on index cards to digital data stored on software that allows sharing of information across the globe. Moreover, in terms of the way that data is displayed within the museum – and on the museum homepage – we have seen a revolution of change, again reflecting the influences of multimedia and Internet technologies.
