Abstract

This short article presents the key findings and recommendations from our recent research project, ‘Language Learning and Migrant ‘Integration’ in Scotland’ (LLAMIS). We interviewed ESOL providers, decision-makers, teachers, volunteers, and learners in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire in 2020-21. We were interested in their views on how well ESOL provision was working for learners and providers in different parts of Scotland, but also their understandings of who, and what, publicly funded ESOL is for. The project was funded by a British Academy small project grant. Further information about the project including the full report and recommendations as well as video recordings and podcasts from our final workshop are available on our project website https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/socialpolitical/research/sociology/projects/languagelearningmigrantintegrationscotland/
