| EALTA Migration SIG and ALTE LAMI group joint event: Language Policy Index for Migrants (LAPIM) by Cecilie Hamnes Carsen and Lorenzo Rocca
LAPIM measures the linguistic requirements in integration and citizenship policy as well as learning opportunities for migrants across Europe. It is the first index of its kind to be designed specifically for this purpose. It was designed within the IMPECT research project anchored at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences with the purpose of ranking countries according to their relative strictness in language policy. The index describes both explicit language requirements for migrants (such as language tests) as well as implicit language requirements (e.g., knowledge of society tests) and existing language learning opportunities in each country. |
