Meeting Description:
Literacy Education and Second Language
Learning for Adults (LESLLA) is an international forum of researchers who share an
interest in research on the development of second language skills by adult
immigrants with little or no schooling prior to entering the country of entry. The
goal of LESLLA is to share empirical research and information to help, inform and
guide further research on second language acquisition for the low-educated adult
population. This research in turn will provide guidance to education policy
development in all those countries in which immigrants settle and most need
educational support.
