Generalizing $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames and almost compact frames, we introduce a concept of almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames. Using a concept of ${\delta}$-filters on frames, we characterize almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames and then have their permanence properties. We also show that almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ regular $D({\aleph}_1)$ frames are exactly $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames. Finally we construct an almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}fication$ of a frame L via the simple extension of L associated with the set of all ${\delta}$-filters F on L with ${\bigvee}\{x^*{\mid}x{\in}F\}=e$.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of ${\delta}$-frames and study its properties. To do so, we introduce ${\delta}$-filters, almost Lindel$\ddot{o}$f frames and Lindel$\ddot{o}$f frames. First, we show that a complete chain or a complete Boolean algebra is a ${\delta}$-frame. Next, we show that a ${\delta}$-frame L is almost Lindel$\ddot{o}$f iff for any ${\delta}$-filter F in L, ${\vee}\{x^*\;:\;x{\in}F\}{\neq}e$. Last, we show that every regular Lindelof ${\delta}$-frame is normal and a Lindel$\ddot{o}$f ${\delta}$-frame is preserved under a ${\delta}$-isomorphism which is dense and codense.
