摘要
The purpose of this paper is to present a study on the non-traditional adult students' representations concerning the contributions of Lifelong Learning in different domains in life, namely the contribute of Higher Education attendance in the development of their plurilingual repertoires. Our starting point is an online questionnaire filled in by non-traditional adult students. The results not only show a positive contribution of Lifelong Learning, but also suggest language learning as an important part of it. Non-traditional adult students seem committed to their Lifelong Learning process and recognize in the Higher Education attendance an opportunity to further develop plurilingual repertoires.
