Una guida europea di riferimento per l’alfabetizzazione in lingua seconda di migranti adulti: “Literacy And Second Language learning for the Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants”

Abstract

The contribution aims to present LASLLIAM, the European reference guide for literacy and second language learning of adult migrants. A brief introduction precedes the discussion of the distinction between literacy and illiteracy. Then, on the basis of this distinction, the needs of no and low literate learners are enucleated, and how LASLLIAM intends to respond to them is illustrated. A description of the progression scales follows, for which proposals and first evidences of concrete application are offered, both in relation to the curricula development, and to the assessment of literacy and second language competences. Finally, the article closes by hypothesizing future scenarios related to LASLLIAM.
