| Description: | Select Guide Rating This book focuses on the lived experiences of migrants who (try to) access the workplace, and explores the barriers and support they encounter. The chapters look at the ways in which inclusion and exclusion from the workplace are done linguistically from historical, discourse analytical, narrative and language assessment perspectives. In today’s globalised world, large-scale migration is the norm. A contributing factor to the successful settlement of migrants is the ability to access work and economic security.
