This paper critiques the contribution made by specialists working within the COST Action Network on New Speakers Programme. It then offers an evaluation of the progress made to date in a number of fields such as conceptual advancement, ideological dispositions, migration and international mobility before contributing a series of policy related recommendations and an assessment of the challenges yet to be faced by researchers and practitioners. The first challenge is the parallel cross‐fertilisation of evidence and best practice from new speaker experiences within hegemonic and lesser used languages and also the particular additional hurdles faced by those who simultaneously grapple with a new hegemonic and lesser used language in tandem, such as English and Irish which must surely be a daunting prospect for migrants and refugees alike. The second is to analyse how and to what extent members of the host community either welcome or frustrate the attempts by new speakers to be fully accepted as co‐equal members, and with what consequences for the perseverance of new speakers. The third is to distil the essence of this new wave of research into practical policy proposals in a range of domains so that outcome‐based programmes and actions can be initiated by political authorities who are charged with improving the opportunities and realisation of those who wish to move beyond being learners of a target language into being active new speakers and full participants in their chosen milieu.

语言政策和新说话人服务中的创造性歧义

本文批评了在新演讲者计划 COST 行动网络内工作的专家所做的贡献。然后评估迄今为止在概念进步、意识形态倾向、移民和国际流动等多个领域取得的进展，然后再提出一系列与政策相关的建议，并对研究人员和从业人员尚未面临的挑战进行评估。 . 第一个挑战是平行交叉融合来自霸权语言和较少使用语言的新说话者经验的证据和最佳实践，以及同时应对新霸权语言和较少使用的语言（例如英语）的人所面临的特定额外障碍和爱尔兰，这对于移民和难民来说肯定是一个令人生畏的前景。第二个是分析东道社区的成员如何以及在多大程度上欢迎或挫败新演讲者作为平等成员被完全接受的尝试，以及对新演讲者的坚持不懈的影响。第三是将这一新研究浪潮的精髓提炼成一系列领域的实际政策建议，以便政治当局能够发起基于结果的计划和行动，这些政府当局负责改善那些希望实现目标的人的机会和实现。不再是目标语言的学习者，而是成为活跃的新演讲者和所选环境的完全参与者。以及对新演讲者的坚持不懈的影响。第三是将这一新研究浪潮的精髓提炼成一系列领域的实际政策建议，以便政治当局能够发起基于结果的计划和行动，这些政府当局负责改善那些希望实现目标的人的机会和实现。不再是目标语言的学习者，而是成为活跃的新演讲者和所选环境的完全参与者。以及对新演讲者的坚持不懈的影响。第三是将这一新研究浪潮的精髓提炼成一系列领域的实际政策建议，以便政治当局能够发起基于结果的计划和行动，这些政府当局负责改善那些希望实现目标的人的机会和实现。不再是目标语言的学习者，而是成为活跃的新演讲者和所选环境的完全参与者。
