From Refugee Camp to Solitary Confinement: Illiterate Adults Learn Swedish as a Second Language.
Elmeroth, Elisabeth
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v47 n4 p431-49 Sep 2003
Studied the factors that govern immigrants' acquisition of a second language through 22 interviews with illiterate Kurdish refugees in Sweden and immigrants with at least 6 years of schooling. The pedagogic conclusions that can be drawn relate mainly to measures for increasing motivation and the need for achieving greater contact with target language speakers. (SLD)
