Subject: Survey on Literacy and Language Acquisition

 
We have recently put together a COST Action. If you are unfamiliar with COST,
see https://www.cost.eu/who-we-are/about-cost/

The Action aims to expand what we know about acquisition of a new language by
adult migrants with no home language literacy (less than 4% of research in
Europe and elsewhere involves non-literate adult second language learners). 
Please see https://www.leslla.org/languages-of-leslla-learners for a list of
languages which such adults speak.
 
We are conducting a six-question survey to get a sense of what linguists,
particularly (but not only) those who work on first and non-native language
acquisition know and/or assume about the influence of literacy. Thanks in
advance for taking it; here’s the link:
