This research project explored the literature in Australia and overseas, concentrating on the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) Home Tutor Scheme (HTS), other volunteer tutor schemes and general volunteer programs. Little was found in the literature about recruiting volunteers from specific ethnic backgrounds. Generally, however, successful recruitment practices are closely tied to factors such as strategically targeted recruitment plans, comprehensive information packages about the organisation and its goals, thorough selection and matching processes, substantial orientation and training programs, ongoing support and professional development, clearly defined expectations of volunteers, rewards and acknowledgment of the volunteer's contribution, and volunteer satisfaction. A questionnaire was distributed and interviews were conducted with Home Tutor Scheme providers to obtain information about their recruitment practices - how they recruit volunteers, how clients are referred to the program, and how clients are matched with tutors. They were also asked to highlight areas of best practice, note areas of difficulty in recruitment and to make recommendations for improvement in recruitment practices. Collectively, the responses from providers have demonstrated that they are at the forefront of best practice in terms of recruiting, training and retaining volunteers. Survey results and interviews demonstrate that many are already practising much of the advice contained in the literature. However, there is no `one size fits all' model with regard to recruitment of home tutor volunteers, and providers need to employ different strategies for different situations. Similar processes and criteria for referring clients to the HTS and matching clients and tutors are used by all providers. They are, however, variously successful dependent on the ability of the providers to recruit adequate numbers of suitable tutors who live in the same locality as the client. The matching of tutors and clients is a quite complex process which needs to take into account many more factors than a match in the first language of the client, which in itself would be a major task. In 2003 there were just over 3600 participants in the Home Tutor Scheme who came from 110 different countries and spoke 106 different home languages between them. There is also similarity in the approaches to training, ongoing support and development, and retention of volunteers once the right people have been recruited for the job. The report demonstrates that, while AMEP Service Providers engage in many best practices, there is currently no national framework against which they can evaluate their practice or determine ways of augmenting current practice. The report therefore recommends a variety of strategies that could be used to augment and strengthen recruitment of tutors into the current Home Tutor Scheme. These strategies involve recruitment, selection, matching client to tutor, training and support, and evaluation. These aspects of volunteering are all critical and interrelated to the provision of language and settlement needs of AMEP clients while, at the same time, providing rewarding experiences for volunteer tutors.

International migration and the social diversity it creates constitute one of the key global challenges of the early 21st century. Language and communication barriers can compromise equitable access in diverse societies, and where socioeconomic disadvantage becomes entrenched, it poses risks to security, productivity and quality of life. Clearly this is an important issue, and migrants and their language choices are heavily politicized; though political and media debates often rely on anecdotal conjecture or are ill-informed. Life in a New Language examines the language learning and settlement experiences of 130 migrants to Australia from 34 different countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America over a period of 20 years. Reusing data shared from six separate sociolinguistic ethnographies, the book illuminates participants' lived experience of learning and communicating in a new language, finding work, and doing family. Additionally, participants' experiences with racism and identity making in a new context are explored. The research uncovers significant hardship but also migrants' courage and resilience. The book has implications for language service provision, migration policy, open science, and social justice movements.

Digital Participation through Social Living Labs connects two largely separate debates: On the one hand, high speed internet access and associated technologies are often heralded as a means to bring about not only connectivity, but also innovation, economic development, new jobs, and regional prosperity. On the other hand, community development research has established that access by itself is necessary but not sufficient to foster digital participation for the broadest possible range of individuals. Edited by leading scholars from the fields of education, youth studies, urban informatics, librarianship, communication technology, and digital media studies, this book is positioned as a link to connect these debates. It brings together an international collection of empirically grounded case studies by researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds. They advance knowledge that fosters digital participation by identifying the specific digital needs, issues and practices of different types of communities as they seek to take advantage of access to digital technologies. Collectively, these cases propose new ways for enabling residents to develop their digital confidence and skills both at home and in their local community, particularly through a ‘social living labs’ approach. The book is organised around key focus areas: digital skills enhancement, youth entrepreneurship, connected learning, community digital storytelling, community-led digital initiatives and policy development. Highlights that high speed internet is necessary that high speed internet access is necessary but not sufficient to resolve digital divides and foster social inclusion; Brings together international, empirically grounded case studies to identify digital needs, issues and practices of different communities, and contextualises these with expert comment; Presents contributions from multiple disciplines, with most chapters incorporating more than one disciplinary background; Gives insight on the place of the digital in contemporary society; Illustrates the innovative potential of social living labs to foster digital learning and participation in a variety of community contexts.

About the Author: Hymie Zawatzky understands what it means to be an immigrant - to leave one's homeland and embark on a journey to an unknown destination. He and his wife arrived in Australia from South Africa in 1979 and settled in Melbourne. He is the son of immigrant parents who left Europe in the 1920s for South Africa. As a qualified and experienced chartered accountant (FCPA) he was able to establish himself in Australia. Later he moved on to start his own consulting company specialising in the retail and property industry. The process of immigration and assisting new migrants is one of his special interests. This led him to serve on the steering committee of the Ethnic Council of Victoria and to establish a new ethnic radio station in Victoria. Presently nearly every ethnic group broadcasts on radio. He is the author of Australia the Immigrant's Guide to Retail, Retail Survival in Tough Time and The Retailers' Guide to Lease Negotiation and Administration, all of which are available for review on his web site www.placeofbooks.com. His practical and theoretical understanding of Australian finance, his own experience in immigrating, plus a great deal of research, has given him an ideal background to writing this book."
