Hashem, Ferhana, Aspinall, Peter J. (2010) What kind of language services should public authorities provide to minority ethnic groups: the case of Bangladeshis in London. Nuffield Foundation / Centre for Health Services Studies (KAR id:29756)

Abstract

A key objective of this report is to understand what the main motivations for minority ethnic groups are (in this case Bangladeshis in London) for learning English. This study investigates the levels of English attained pre-migration and explores the learning pathways of Bangladeshis in acquiring English after arrival in the UK.

It also helps to identify whether ESOL services adequately meet local need and whether the learning requirements of this group are addressed in relation to range and type of provision, and in terms of culturally competent services needed for participation.
