The Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages (AAHL) is compiling
an online collection of heritage language programs and related resources
within and beyond the formal education system.

If you work in or know about a program or resources that others should
know about, please contact Joy Peyton, Center for Applied Linguistics,
joy at cal.org, for guidelines. Thank you!!

BACKGROUND
In 1999, the Heritage Language Initiative (HLI) launched coordinated
efforts across languages and instructional settings to develop a
national infrastructure of information and resources to support the
development of heritage language speakers' competencies. Efforts
included the Second National Heritage Languages in America Conference
(2002) and the Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages,
which needs the collaboration of all constituents. Our current goal is
to compile and make available information about promising heritage
language programs -- K-12, higher education, and community-based.
