GULL - Guerilla Literacy Learners GuLL project seeks to improve the language literacy of learners. The project asks learners to reflect upon the unorthodox links (Guerilla Patterns) they make and then remediate them. The patterns we have observed so far are: guessing, mixing rules unorthodoxically, applying rules in the wrong contexts, and applying mathematical logic to solving linguistic challenges. Within the project the learners will create language clips (videos) showing how they acquire the language.
