Linguistic discrimination and migrant youth in regional Australia

语言歧视是移民青年对澳大利亚地区生活不满的关键因素之一。本项目旨在利用解释性研究方法，调查流动青年对这种歧视的经历和处理，及其对他们的语言公民身份（与语言相关的归属感）的影响。预期成果包括新的知识、理论发展和政策建议，以支持流动青年抵制这种歧视，并使他们成为更有能力的公民。预期的好处包括改善移民青年的福利和他们与地区的联系，以及加强对澳大利亚语言歧视的理解。

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.
