LASLLIAM. A European Reference Guide for LESLLA Learners

Abstract

From the very start of the implementation of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, it became clear that literacy is presupposed at the entry level. Research conducted in the last decades highlights the need for CEFR descriptors below A1. Moreover, research on language acquisition among low-literate learners reveals the complex needs of non-/low-literate learners. The “Literacy and Second Language Learning for the Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants” is a tool, promoted by the Council of Europe, to design curricula, courses, teaching materials and assessment instruments aimed at adult migrants, with a special attention to literacy learners.
