点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Linguistic discrimination is among the critical factors in migrant youth’s dissatisfaction with their lives in regional Australia. This project aims to investigate migrant youth’s experiences and management of such discrimination, and its impact on their linguistic citizenship (sense of belonging associated with language), using an interpretative research approach. Expected outcomes include new knowledge, theory development, and policy recommendations for supporting migrant youth to counteract such discrimination and empower them as more capable citizens. Expected benefits include improving migrant youth’s wellbeing and their connection with regional areas, as well as enhancing understandings of linguistic discrimination in Australia.
