Educational Selectivity and Language Acquisition among Recently Arrived Immigrants
Educational Selectivity and Language Acquisition among Recently Arrived Immigrants is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''International Migration Review''. The main subjects of the publication include educational attainment, psychology, second-language acquisition, language proficiency, incentive, affect, first language acquisition, demographic economics, and immigration. The authors introduce selectivity considerations to a model of language acquisition, arguing that positively selected individuals should display higher levels of language skills upon arrival and faster growth in destination language proficiency thereafter.
