Abstract:

Adult migrants who received little or no formal education in their home
countries face a unique set of challenges when attempting to learn the
languages of their new countries. Few adult migrants with limited or no
literacy in their native languages successfully attain higher levels of
literacy in their additional languages, even if they attain high levels of
oral proficiency. This book, the result of a European- and United States-wide
collaborative research project, aims to assist teachers working with adult
migrants to address this attainment gap and help students reach the highest
possible levels of literacy in their new languages. The chapters provide the
latest research-informed evidence on the acquisition of linguistic competence
and the development of reading in a new language by adults. The book concludes
with a chapter that addresses the challenges and opportunities faced by this
group of learners and their teachers, with specific instructional strategies
that can be used. The book will be an invaluable resource for teachers, tutors
and training providers, as well as volunteers, who work with adult migrants.
