Abstract
This chapter presents the first step of the application of research findings in the world of praxis. After a first period of research in the field of home working with au-pairs and some first considerations about the usability of research outputs from the domains of conversation analysis and discourse study, the chapter illustrates several steps that have been undertaken to contact and inform different stakeholders. Specifically, recruiting agencies as well as prospective au-pairs are seen to be the most important interlocutors for a dialogue with the researchers. However, several difficulties and issues have arisen, that demonstrate how complex the home working setting is and how much work still needs to be done for improving the information exchange between the research field and the real world.
