Dear Colleagues, 

The deadline for applications for the 6th Heritage Language Research
Institute, "From Overhearers to High Proficiency Speakers: Advancing
Heritage Learners' Skills," is March 9, next Thursday. The application

http://apply.international.ucla.edu/Public/ViewForm.aspx?appID=321. The
Institute will take place from June 18-22 at UCLA; further details can
be viewed at: http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/events/institute/2012/. 

Applications are invited from language instructors, linguists, and
researchers from other fields whose current focus involves heritage
language teaching and/or research. Limited funding will be available for
graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, who are encouraged to
apply.  

The Institute is sponsored by the UCLA National Heritage Language
Resource Center <http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/>  and aims to support the
center's principal mission of developing the research base for heritage
language education. This year's institute is co-sponsored by the NSEP
National Language Flagship Program <http://www.thelanguageflagship.org>
as part of their Flagship Results 2012 initiative, and will focus on
research and pedagogical approaches that help advance heritage speakers'
language skills toward high levels of proficiency.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
