Easy Language for migrants: Scenarios, opportunities, and challenges

Literature and guidelines consider recent migrants who are learning the lan guage of the host country as their second language (L2) to be a target audience for Easy Language (EL) content. While in countries like Finland and Japan, EL is widely used for migrants, the use of EL for this target group remains relatively limited in countries like Germany and Italy. This is despite its scope of overcom ing communication barriers, possibly helping recent migrants access essential information, such as legal and healthcare content.
