Humanitarian migrants' English language proficiency and integration: "All is well and good but the problem is language"
The 14th Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) Conference: Research to results: Using evidence to improve outcomes for families is being held in Melbourne this week. Helen Blake is presenting a paper titled "Humanitarian
migrants' English language proficiency and integration: 'All is well and
good but the problem is language'" during the conference. The paper is
co-authored with myself and Laura Bennetts Kneebone. It uses data from the Building a new
life in Australia: the Longitudinal Study of Humanitrian Migrants that is
overseen by the National Centre for Longitudinal Data, Department of Social
Services (DSS) www.dss.gov.au/ncld and
the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS). CSU has written a news
release about the research here.
