“…Sprachen sind, insbesondere der Spracherwerb und -gebrauch. Danach sind Sprachbiografien auch eine wertvolle Methode für die Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedensten Dokumenten, beispielsweise literarischen Werken, Zeitungsartikeln, administrativen Dokumenten, Videoausschnitten oder Fragebögen (Barth 2004;Piškorec 2007;Fedyuk/Zentai 2018). Tophinke (2002) interpretiert die Sprachbiografie als das sich in einem Entwicklungsprozess befindliche vielschichtige Verhältnis der Menschen zu Sprache und Varietäten.…”

“…The researchers used the "Purposive Sampling" technique which is applied when the researcher selects the samples based on who s/he considers the participant to meet the requirements of the research (Taherdoost, 2016). Interviews are widely used in migrationrelated studies, especially in the European context (Fedyuk and Zentai, 2018). That is because interviews grant the participants the control to share life-story, experiences, perspectives, feelings, and knowledge according to the researcher's agenda.…”

Since the Syrian crisis began ten years ago, 5.6 million Syrians have been forced to flee to neighboring countries. Jordan is not a member of the 1951 Geneva Refugee convention, so Syrians are treated as asylum seekers rather than refugees. This study explores Syrian asylum seekers’ experiences and challenges in Jordan, including the sectors of housing, education, healthcare services, and employment to understand why they are motivated to seek asylum in Europe. Through semi-structured interviews with 30 Syrian asylum seekers living in four Jordanian governorates outside camps, the goal is to elucidate the drivers that motivate them to seek asylum in Europe. The findings emphasize the importance of education and work permits both of which are considered major push factors or drivers for immigration. The narratives provide a contextual understanding of the immigration crisis from the voices of the refugees themselves, which in turn will contribute to the knowledge base of immigration literature and enhance the support for the Syrian asylum seekers in the host community of Jordan.

“…The efficacy and reliability of interviews as a research method have long been questioned. Various improvement methods have been introduced to develop better interview analysis methods because interviews carry the potential to unravel social dynamics and negotiations throughout the interview process (Fedyuk and Zentai 2018;Rathbun 2008;Silverman 2017). Thus, with this positionality, I 51 address a method of improvement for the quality of the interviews to overcome shifting intergroup dynamics.…”

Broadening the positionality in migration studies: Assigned insider category

This article contributes to the debates on positionality in migration studies by introducing assigned insider as a new category. I define it as a position when both the interviewees and the researcher are of the same local origin in which the researcher is considered ‘an insider of the host community’ and the interview questions are about a migrant group. I developed this category based on interviews with host community members during my field study in Bursa, Turkey, where I was born and raised. Previous studies focused on the researcher being an insider from a migrant community or being an outsider conducting research on a migrant community different from his/her own. Assigned insider has two elements that require it to be considered differently: same local origin operates as an overriding feature that goes beyond ethnicity and the interviewees being from the host community involves different ethical aspects than that from a migrant community. I argue that these reflect on the researcher during the interviews through active and passive discontent manifestations of the interviewees. While the former emphasises the direct confrontations of the interviewees that lead them to ‘correct’ the researcher, the latter manifests itself through non-verbal ways, which can result in refraining from answering questions.
