| Abstract: | The authors of the paper state that in the discussion over the revision of immigration policy, the question of how well immigrants to Germany can speak German is also under consideration. A good knowledge of German and the use of it every day are regarded as necessary for social integration in the Federal Republic of Germany. The paper provides a great number of charts and tables covering the following subjects: empirical results, German language skills of immigrants aged 16 and over in 1999, main language used by immigrants to Germany by age group in 1999, knowledge of German and main language spoken by foreigners aged over 16 and over by nationality in 1999 and a substantial list of references on this subject. |
