Modelling micro-level language planning and intervention in regional Australian refugee communities

该项目是澳大利亚首次对移民社区的语言维持和微观语言规划的动机进行实证研究。它涉及澳大利亚难民安置的语言、社会和文化问题。这符合澳大利亚国家研究的优先事项，即“加强澳大利亚的社会和经济结构”，并“帮助家庭和个人过上健康、富有成效的生活”。这些成果为改善重新安置服务、制定知情的语言政策和间接改善难民的社会和精神福祉提供了重大的实际好处。

This project is the first empirically-based Australian study of motivation in immigrant communities' language maintenance and micro-level language planning. It addresses the linguistic, social and cultural issues of refugee settlement in Australia. It is in line with the Australian National Research Priority of 'Strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric' and 'help families and individuals live healthy, productive lives'. The outcomes offer major practical benefits to improve resettlement services, develop informed language policies and indirectly better the social and mental well-being of refugees.
