| Abstract | Many asylum seekers overcome unimaginably horrific experiences to rebuild their lives in the UK. Their success often depends on having ready access to English language training. The immediate access to English allows the new arrival to interact with the local community and contributes to community cohesion. It enables the parent to speak to her child's teacher, to explain herself to a doctor and to begin to function independently in society without recourse to expensive translation or interpreting resources. The newly arrived asylum seeker who learns the language from day one is more likely to learn quickly and efficiently and, therefore, be able to work and contribute to the economy when permitted to do so. There is a cost benefit to the UK economy. However, the UK does not currently offer them the lifeline of language. This is not right. Now is the time to speak up and allow asylum seekers to speak out. (ERIC). |
