Brno, April-June 2024 Description of the course Erasmus Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), 2023-2024 Resulting from cooperation between different institutions in Europe and beyond, the school will address from different and complementary perspectives (theoretical, sociolinguistic, educational) the nuclear themes included in its title: language, literacy and migration. (1) Virtual phase The virtual segment will consist of three meetings hosted in MS Teams and held by internationally recognised experts in the field of language, literacy and migration. The meetings will be dedicated to: (a) "Pleasure reading for adult immigrants with limited literacy and how to produce your own". "Pleasure reading" assumes that the more reading is detached from study tasks, the more fluently and deeply one learns. This is also due to the so-called affective filter, postulated by S. Krashen, which decreases if a study task is not required. Research points to the value of individualised reading, typically of fiction, to bolster five- and six-year-old children's reading fluency. At this reading level, many thousands of books exist. Adults at this reading level may have unaddressed dyslexia, problems due to stroke or dementia or may be immigrants with insufficient schooling in their home language. While children's books are an option, they are hardly ideal for instilling a love of reading. Simply Stories (http://simplystories.org/) caters to beginning-level adult readers and their interests, knowledge and life experiences. The initiative has pioneered techniques for writing original fiction for this readership. (b) "Multilingualism and literacy in relation to the CEFR and in the field of language teaching planning". The CEFR (2001) and its recent Companion Volume (2018) are essential references for language teachers, curriculum developers, language testers, and policymakers. Applications and developments in different teaching areas are still ongoing. The lecture will examine two of them. First, we will trace the development of the notion of plurilingualism, which has a central position both in the CEFR and, more generally, in the Council of Europe's policies and whose didactic implications are at the heart of the Guide for the development and implementation of curricula for plurilingual and intercultural education (2014). We will then examine the Council of Europe's recent contributions to teaching literacy and second language for adult migrants, specifically through Literacy and Second Language Learning for the Linguistic Integration of Adult Mil N T Department of Romance U 11 1 Languages and Literatures | EfclSITlUS I (\ P T 5 Enriching lives, opening minds.

This reference guide explicitly refers to the CEFR methodological framework and responds to the growing need of those working in teaching literacy in migration contexts. The links between the multilingual approach and teaching in migratory contexts will be explored.

The lectures will address from different and complementary perspectives (theoretical, sociolinguistic, educational) the nuclear themes of the course: language, literacy and migration. In particular, they will focus on crucial but as yet little explored topics such as the dynamics of multilingualism in a European and migration context, the notion of literacy and its different types, the role of literacy skills in the development of non-mother tongues, research ethics. Lectures will be complemented by: (a) peer-to-peer activities, in which students will be asked to enter and comment on case studies directly related to the topics covered; (b) workshops led by experts on multilingualism and autobiographical narration of multilingualism.
