FW: community questionnaires

[Scott McGinnis]

Greetings,

         The NFLC's executive summary of the Heritage Language Research
     Priorities conference report suggests on page 7 that surveys be used=

in
     heritage language communities "to assess needs, resources, problems
and
     attitudes; to establish current and potential heritage language use.=
.."
     and other relevant data.

         Does anyone have such a survey they're willing to share, or know=

of
     published surveys? We are looking to begin this kind of work in
     Spanish-speaking communities in Chicago.

         It would be great if we could post community surveys to a public=

     website (if it hasn't been done already).

         Thanks,
