Meeting Description:

Literacy Education and Second Language Learning for Adults (LESLLA) is an
international forum of researchers who share an interest in research on the
development of second language skills by adult immigrants with little or no
schooling prior to entering the country of entry. The goal of LESLLA is to
share empirical research and information to help, inform and guide further
research on second language acquisition for the low-educated adult population.
This research in turn will provide guidance to education policy development in
all those countries in which immigrants settle and most need educational
support.

- Theo Marinis (University of Reading)
- Martha Young-Scholten (Newcastle University)
- Massimiliano Spotti (Tilburg University)
