Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

AbstractIn this paper, I will explore how links between migration, official language proficiency and labour market needs are being forged within the context of an increasing neoliberal agenda for immigration. Specifically, I will examine how the stated need for immigrant labour has made the official language proficiency of newcomers a site of increasing concern and regulation for the Canadian Government. Foucault's notion of governmentality as the conduct of conduct will frame my analysis as I examine how the immigrant language learner is subject not only to institutional processes of management but is also constituted as responsible immigrant language learners in terms of how they self-manage and control their own learning.Keywords: language training(im)migrationCanadaneoliberalismgovermentality Notes1. Jason Kenney is the minister of the Federal Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).2. Most newcomers choose to settle in one of Canada's three major cities: Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
