The research presented here is based on a large-scale, multi-methods study of refugees who have been resettled to the United Kingdom. We analyse quantitative data on language proficiency four or more years after resettlement to identify the key characteristics of those who are most likely to have low language proficiency and to be at risk of long-term dependency and exclusion. Qualitative interviews on experiences of language learning suggest that English-language policy and provision serve to exacerbate and compound the risk of social exclusion, rather than ameliorate the risk. Our findings draw attention to the lack of recognition and understanding of the diversity of resettled refugees and their differential capacities, needs and opportunities for learning. They also highlight the conflict between the policy goal of rapid entry into the labour market and the goal of language learning. These findings have clear implications for integration strategies and policy.

“没有良好的沟通，就不可能有良好的融入”：英国重新安置难民的英语学习

此处介绍的研究基于对重新安置到英国的难民进行的大规模、多方法研究。我们分析了移民后四年或更长时间的语言熟练程度的定量数据，以确定最有可能语言熟练程度低并面临长期依赖和排斥风险的人的关键特征。关于语言学习经历的定性访谈表明，英语语言政策和规定有助于加剧和加剧社会排斥的风险，而不是减轻风险。我们的研究结果引起人们对重新安置难民的多样性及其不同的能力、需求和学习机会缺乏认识和理解的关注。他们还强调了快速进入劳动力市场的政策目标与语言学习目标之间的冲突。这些发现对整合战略和政策有着明确的影响。
