本文介绍的研究是基于对已被重新安置到英国的难民进行的大规模、多方法研究。我们分析重新安置后四年或更长时间的语言熟练程度的量化数据，以确定那些最有可能语言熟练程度较低和面临长期依赖和排斥风险的人的主要特征。关于语言学习经验的定性访谈表明，英语语言政策和规定加剧和加剧了社会排斥的风险，而不是改善了风险。我们的调查结果提请注意，对重新安置难民的多样性及其不同的学习能力、需要和机会缺乏认识和了解。它们还突出了迅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。这些发现对一体化战略和政策具有明确的影响。
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.
