ADEL ALAS PROGRAMIS A NEUROLIGUISTIC PROGRAM FOR LANGUAGE´S INMERSIONThe neurolinguistics program ͞Adel Alas͟ is a first requirement to start a multilingual dialog in a community of inquiry. Adel Alas provides a methodology for immersion in a Spanish and Norwegian speaking context. 

ADEL LANDSCAPE•Adel is a girl in elementary school who meets Aurora, and together they discover the art of reading in a multilingual context. Both of them have a dialog with two important references; Aurora represents the Community of inquiry, and Adel represents multilingual learning comunity. They both meet on the way to school in a forest full of magical trees, and each day they find a different book that the magic forest offers them, and they return their notes and book back to the magical library at the forest on the way back to home.

Adel Alas has a landscape of possibilities, every time that the two friends meet with other friends in their school. They find the Aurora Boreal with a magic stairwell that has 7 sieves, as well as a rainbow that 

invites them to write their story and dialog. There are also 3 constellations that ask them structural questions in order to recognize the language. On some occasions they also find the polar bear, the deer, and the swan, who help them focus on Norwegian and Spanish. At the end of the school year, Adel and Aurora have learned to communicate in Norwegian, Spanish and English and also meet other children who, like them, are in a multicultural environment through the libraries in Rogaland and Alicante.
