ctThis article is a result of the methodological design that was undertaken during the data collection phase within a PhD research which intends to understand how the plurilingual repertoires of non-traditional adult students’ (NTAS) were built through life.By adopting a biographical approach, the starting point was the NTAS’ questionnaire answers in order to design a methodological process of selection of a small sample of NTAS to be interviewed. This selection process emphasises the importance of the interconnection between all the methods used in the research. Biographical methods allow researchers to have a deeper access to NTAS plurilingual experiences across their life course and, at the same time, they contribute to improve the subjects’ awareness regarding their plurilingual identity, by promoting the reflection on their plurilingual lives and language learning.

nThis article is based on a study which is being carried out at the University of Aveiro (UA), within a PhD research project entitled “The plurilingual repertoires in a lifelong learning process: a multi-case study with the non-traditional adult students”.This study intends to present the NTAS’ perspective in what lifelong learning is concerned, namely, lifelong language learning, focusing in the Higher Education (HE) context. It takes into account NTAS’ motivations, expectations and representations, in a biographical approach (Josso, 2002; West & Merrill, 2009) which reveals the process of construction of NTAS plurilingual repertoires during their life course (Molinié, 2006). Within this theoretical perspective, this study intends to understand how the plurilingual repertoires are built through life, namely NTAS’ lives. The methodological approach used in order to achieve this main goal is based on documental analysis (UA institutional documents), questionnaires and interviews, the last two referring the NTAS’ language biographies.In this article, the main focus is the methodological design used in the selection process of a small group of NTAS to be interviewed, taking into account their answers to the previous questionnaire.

Theoretical Question How are the Plurilingual Repertoires constructed in a
Lifelong Learning perspective, focusing in a Higher Education context?
What is a Plurilingual Repertoire?• It is constituted by different languages which are acquired
through diverse modalities (learned in childhood, in school or autonomously) and in different learning contexts where different skills (speaking, reading, listening ...) exist. These languages could have more or less different specialised functions as they are used to communicate with the family, to socialise, to work, to learn, etc. (Beacco, 2005).
• Formed as a dynamic lifelong process of (re)construction which is shaped by each subject’s life experience and pathways (Andrade & Araújo e Sá, 2003, Beacco & Byram, 2003, Coste, Moore & Zarate, 1997, Mackiewiczv, 1998) .

kLanguage learning – a process of and for a
life time
“a lifelong process extending across the entire span of institutional education and training and including learning outside institutional education settings.
The emphasis on lifelong language earning reflects the facts that it is impossible to predict the practical and personal communicative needs people
may have after leaving education and training.” (Mackiewiczv, 1998)
Each one is able to learn languages according to the emerging needs throughout life, either due to personal, professional or cultural matters, or simply because it is the person’s wish (Beacco, 2008, Semal-Lebleu, 2006).
The plurilingual repertoire is not stable, gaining new elements which transform or complete preexisting components obtained in various life contexts, considering the necessary adaptation to professional, geographical or family displacements but also to the personal evolution of interests (Lüdi, 2004).

kLanguage Biography consists of a set of "traces" of different sources:
memories of linguistic and cultural contacts, evidences from the evolution of formal and informal learning, evidence of any certifications. It allows the researcher to understand, from the particular linguistic narrative, how and why develops and changes the relationship with languages throughout life from childhood to adolescence and into adulthood.To the subjects that produce them, by this “returning to experience”, it allows a biographical reflexivity and also the awareness raising of what already constitutes their repertoire and therefore it contributes to the lifelong language repertoire development. (Alheit et al., 1995, Castellotti & Moore, 2006, Josso, 2002, Perregaux , 2006, Thamin & Simon, 2009)

Non-Traditional Adult Students (NTAS)
Adult students are named non-traditional due to several factors influencing their participation in the educational process. Since they play multiple roles and have several responsibilities, the student role is very often cast aside.

i.representations, expectations and motivations concerning Lifelong Learning, namely within the development of plurilingual repertoires,
ii. representations and expectations concerning the university’s role and its contribution to Lifelong Learning, particularly regarding the development of plurilingual repertoires,
iii.language biography, its characteristics, processes and constitution conditions.

repertoires are constructed during the
life course
3 - Identify the construction

“Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.“
Henry Doherty (1870-1939)
