2. Targ<strong>et</strong> groups<br />
Europe has many immigrant and refugee adults with a low level of education, who lack basic skills<br />
such as reading and writing in both their native language and second language. A high number of lowliterate<br />
native-born adult residents, Europe counts many non-literate adults that who need to learn to<br />
read and write for the first time in a language other than their mother tongue. Poor oral and written<br />
proficiency in the second language (L2) leads to social exclusion and prohibits social and economic<br />
integration.<br />
Statistics reveal that the number of non-literates is much higher for women than for men (UNESCO,<br />
2004). Literacy –the ability to use reading and writing– is clearly a key factor in the integration and<br />
participation of immigrants in the soci<strong>et</strong>y in which they live. The Digital Literacy Instructor project<br />
wants to develop such advanced learning materials that allow differentiation and independent<br />
learning.<br />
The technology required for this purpose is known as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Speech<br />
technologists of the Radboud University Nijmegen have successfully experimented with educational<br />
applications that provide feedback on pronunciation to (highly educated) L2 learners.<br />
