Subject: Survey on Literacy and Language Acquisition
E-mail this message to a friend We have recently put together a COST Action. If you are unfamiliar with COST, see
https://www.cost.eu/who-we-are/about-cost/ The Action aims to expand what we know about acquisition of a new language by adult migrants with no home language literacy (less than 4% of research in Europe and elsewhere involves non-literate adult second language learners).
Please see
https://www.leslla.org/languages-of-leslla-learners for a list of languages which such adults speak.
We are conducting a six-question survey to get a sense of what linguists, particularly (but not only) those who work on first and non-native language acquisition know and/or assume about the influence of literacy. Thanks in advance for taking it; here’s the link:
