Abstract:

Language and literacy development by adult first time readers in a secondlanguage is a new and almost unexplored domain. Research has been carriedout in different disciplines by linguists, psycho-linguists, psychologistsand educational researchers. The aim of the inaugural LESLLA workshop inTilburg 2005 was to bring together researchers from the differentdisciplines working on the acquisition of literacy or of a second languageby adult immigrants with little or no schooling. The present volumecontains the proceedings of this first workshop. The papers provide amulti-country and multi-target language overview of recent developments inthe various disciplines, introducing the reader less familiar disciplines.The low-educated and low-literate or non-literate learner is the centraltheme in all contributions, which are of interest to both researchers andto those working with low-educated second language and literacy learners.

With contributions by: Alan Juffs (Pittsburgh), Astrid Geudens (Antwerp;Leuven), Martha Young-Scholten and Nancy Strom (Newcastle; Proliteracy),Jeanne Kurvers, Roeland van Hout and Ton Vallen (Tilburg), Larry Condelliand Heide Wrigley (AIR, Literacy Work International), Anne-MiekeJanssen-van Dieten (Nijmegen), Nancy Faux (Virginia Commonwealth), andWillemijn Stockmann (Tilburg).
