• Description: LESLLA (Literacy Education and Second Language Learning for Adults) engages and supports research initiatives, teaching approaches, and policies that contribute to high-quality and inclusive learning opportunities for adult migrants who face the dual challenge of learning a new language while at the same time learning to read and write for the first time or consolidating their existing literacy skills. LESLLA’s 21st Annual Symposium will be held in Brno (Czech Republic) from 20 to 22 August 2026. The symposium will be hybrid, with both virtual and in-person events, including oral and poster presentations, panels, and workshops on theoretical and practice-based topics. The general theme of the symposium is “Bridging languages: literacy, plurilingual repertoires, new languages”.
