(eds) (2017), The Linguistic integration of adult migrants - Some lessons from research / L’intégration linguistique des migrants adultes - Les enseignements de la recherche, De Gruyter Mouton, Berlin / Council of Europe, Strasbourg.

Describes research carried out in 2013 to identify the barriers to and enablers of English language development for migrants in low-paid, low-skilled employment in London, with a view to making practical recommendations on how to help this group improve their English.
