Affective multiliteracy for the learning of languages in adults
AMALLE investigates new ways of teaching and learning additional languages in adult, multilingual and culturally diverse contexts.
Research on second language learning has largely focused on young students. However, contemporary social transformations have highlighted the need to broaden this focus to include... adult second language literacy, especially in contexts marked by migratory processes.
- The linguistic, social and cultural profile of our society is changing, and this is reflected in the classrooms.
- Literacy practices are also changing: an approach that considers diversity and technology is needed.
- Language teachers must receive effective training to meet the needs of adult learners.
Three pillars that guide our work
Reading, writing, image, technology and multimodal communication to understand and transform the world.
Emotions, empathy, and motivation as drivers that strengthen learning and meaningful participation.
Language training in diverse contexts, with special attention to migrants and new citizens.
Our goals
Analyze the profile of multiliteracy, ethnocultural empathy and beliefs of teachers in training and active teaching who teach additional languages to adults.
