ABSTRACT

This paper constitutes an edited transcript of two online panels, conducted with four scholars whose complementary expertise regarding print literacy and migration offers a thought-provoking and innovative window on the representation of print literacy in applied linguistic research and in migration policy. The panel members are experts on language policy, literacy, proficiency and human capital research. Together, they address a range of interrelated matters: the constructs of language proficiency and literacy (with significant implication for assessment), the idea of literacy as human capital or as a human right, the urgent need for policy literacy among applied linguists, and the responsibility of applied linguistics in the literacy debate.

摘要

本文由两个在线小组的编辑记录组成，由四位学者进行，他们在印刷素养和移民方面的互补专业知识为印刷素养在应用语言研究和移民政策中的表现提供了一个发人深省的创新窗口。小组成员是语言政策、读写能力、熟练程度和人力资本研究方面的专家。它们共同解决了一系列相互关联的问题：语言能力和读写能力的结构（对评估具有重要意义）、将读写能力作为人力资本或人权的理念、应用语言学家对政策素养的迫切需求，以及应用语言学在扫盲辩论中的责任。
