This is a study, based upon 22 interviews, of the factors that govern immigrants' acquisition of a second language. Half of the interviewees are illiterate quota refugees from a Kurdish refugee camp and the other half are immigrants with at least six years of school education. The interpretation framework consists of theories of language and language learning with the emphasis on the acquisition of literacy and theories of motivation. The interviewees from the refugee camp have lived under very difficult conditions. It has been difficult to meet their basic needs. The social needs cannot be provided in Sweden because the refugees become isolated, without any contact with Swedes. They lack the contact with speakers of the target language that is necessary for them to acquire the language. The lack of integration into Swedish society leads to their marginalisation. The pedagogic conclusions that can be drawn from this study relate mainly to measures for increasing motivation. In this respect the most important measure is to achieve greater contact with target language speakers. 相似文献

After settling in to his second term, Brazil’s president Lula da Silva has pledged to improve on his country’s woefully inadequate
education system. This means addressing illiteracy, which is one of Brazil’s most serious development issues. While Brazil
has the potential to be one of the world’s largest economies, it is hampered by high rates of functional illiteracy. Furthermore,
those that can read are non-readers. Consequently the Brazilian government has pledged to resolve illiteracy and launched
a nationwide reading program in 2005 with the optimistic goal of increasing the national reading rate by 50%. The article
analyzes the political risk in Brazil in light of the da Silva administration’s stated objectives. It will also assess the
impact of state literacy campaigns will have on the publishing industry and the potential for investment in the country. Finally,
it will discuss the importance of foreign investors in Brazil’s development goals. 相似文献
