| description | Some adult migrants and refugees have no home language literacy, because they have attended little or no school in their home country. There are few studies of the literacy development of these adult learners and limited professional development for teachers who work with them.

This article reviews research on literacy development of children and adults learning a second language and describes three projects focused on literacy development for this adult learner population. |
