The vision is the change that we want to see such as that all, worldwide, second language and literacy learners acquire language and literacy skills to participate fully in their new communities. Or something along those lines. The vision is what we want to see. The goal. The goal is not to get together and share (that is what we do to get to our vision).]]> 2018-10-05 12:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289576874 Everything should be in English - but perhaps also the language of the host country of the conference, if there is a possibility to translate. So this year - Italian and English. https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999215 2018-10-07 09:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999215 https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999375 To improve the educational outcomes of leslla learners through research and the dissemination there of!

Membership should be a sliding scale - perhaps a recommended fee, but one that those of us who are struggling students etc can tailor to our means. But perhaps include a minimum so it doesn’t get outrageous https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999490 2018-10-07 09:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999490 https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999640 A community of practice, dedicated to improving education for leslla learners ]]> 2018-10-07 09:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/289999640 https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/295077761 Big Family, a theater project with Leslla-students in Antwerp (Belgium), more info and feedback: tania.polak@cbe-antw.be]]> 2018-10-20 13:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/295077761 Let’s get moving! Lots to be done :).

The visión is the target, but we can refer to our goal related to the students (included in the misión) or goals related to the LESLLA community of researchers. In this way, the visión of LESLLA may be to be leader in the field of research on the deveolpment of second language and litereacy skills by immigrant learners with Little or no schooling (not sure if this is enough politically-correct )]]> 2018-11-01 11:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/299296162 llorente_maria https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/299297902  It is also intended, as far as possible, to influence educational policies related to immigrant second languages instruction/education (?) ]]> 2018-11-01 11:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/299297902 llorente_maria https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/299299112 A place to share knowledge and experience with professionals of the same field from all over the World]]> 2018-11-01 11:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/LESLLA/wish/299299112
