Learning the language of the hosting country is a key factor for the integration of people coming from abroad but this objective could be achieved only if political institutions promote initiatives in this direction. Researchers in the field can cooperate, providing their expertise. In this paper we present two research activities concerning the use and the production of multilingual resources developed at the Institute for Computational Linguistics "Antonio Zampolli". More specifically, we report on the creation of a multilingual glossary of difficult terms extracted from forms that people submit to the municipality of Genova to access public services. We also describe the experimental use in a primary school of ImagAct, a multilingual lexical resource focused on action verbs consulted by pupils to create a vocabulary of food preparation in Italian, English, Chinese and Spanish.
