Title: Low-Educated Adult Second Language and Literacy Acquisition
Subtitle: 4th Symposium - Antwerp 2008
Editors: Ineke van de Craats and Jeanne Kurvers
Publisher: Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics

Summary: The language and literacy development by adult learners with little or no schooling in their native country continues to be a relatively new and almost unexplored domain. The fourth LESLLA symposium in Antwerp brought together researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners from various countries with the common aim of accumulating findings and sharing them to improve instructional practice and educational policy with regard to low-educated adult immigrants. Recurrent themes at the symposium and in the papers of this bundle are: bringing the outside world into the classroom, how long does it take to become literate, assessing adult literacy learners, and language technology in the literacy class. New at LESLLA was a panel on African literacies.
