In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Aubrey Carter interviews Ingrid Piller, an expert in intercultural communication and language learning, about her book "Life in a New Language." Piller shares insights from her research, which followed 130 migrants to Australia over 20 years, focusing on the challenges of settling into a new society while learning a new language. She provides three key tips for immigrants: embrace the new identity that comes with migration, actively engage and put yourself out there despite potential setbacks, and recognize that fluency and belonging are long-term goals. Piller also addresses the common experiences of discrimination faced by migrants and emphasizes the importance of building community and connections. The episode concludes with information on where to find Piller's book.
