Reviews

This is an excellent book that offers insightful research on teaching and learning among adult migrants having limited formal education or literacy in any language. It establishes a long-needed and very helpful research base to support the difficult process of teaching and learning in a new language. I especially appreciate how the research is systematically linked with practical implications and strategies for teaching. * Stephen Reder, Portland State University, USA * Teaching literacy to adult migrants who are learning the language of their new countries requires specific competences. This book offers valuable suggestions, framing them in both the context of research on second language acquisition, bilingualism and literacy learning, and the socio-political dimension of migration. Exhaustive information and clear language make it a valuable tool for all involved in teaching and immigration. * Fernanda Minuz, Independent Researcher, Italy *
