 The Forum of Heritage Language Coalitions in Europe (FOHLC Europe) offers
an opportunity for those involved with heritage language education –
running programs otherwise known as mother tongue lessons or weekend schools
– to come together to exchange ideas. The FOHLC Europe 2022 Conference will
take place online on Friday, November 11, and Saturday, November 12, free
of charge.



The theme of the 2022 conference is “Multilingual Children and Multilingual
Libraries: Cultivating Reading Habits in the Heritage Language.” Over two days,
attendees will receive practical tips and examples of how to get
multilingual children motivated to read in the heritage language.



The conference program includes structured networking opportunities designed
for professionals in the field of HL education: teachers, coordinators, and
volunteers at HL programs as well as for leaders of HL umbrella
associations, coalitions, and networks. Parents, academics, or policy
makers interested in the topic of HL education are also welcome.



The program: Keynote speaker on Friday will be Dr. Paul Frank, the Bloom
Program Manager for SIL International, non-profit nongovernmental
organization dedicated to serving minority language communities. The online
Bloom Library contains more than 11,000 books in over 475 languages.
Keynote speakers on Saturday will be Prof. Stephen Krashen and Dr. Nooshan
Ashtari to promote self-selected reading for pleasure in the heritage
language. A panel discussion on Saturday will include Dr. Sabine Little,
Senior Lecturer in Languages Education at the University of Sheffield, Gina
Domeniconi, literacy promotor at the Swiss Institute for Children's and
Youth Media (SIKJM), and Amina Marix-Evans from the Multilingual Library at
Kittiwake Trust.



In addition, professional development workshops will be run for heritage
language teachers and for program managers. Julliane de Oliveira Rüdisser
will give a workshop about how to incorporate children's literature into
heritage language teaching curriculum. Jana Nahodilová will explore the
main aspects that need to be considered when setting up a heritage language
library.
