Fwd: inquiry from Center for Applied Linguistics

[phil cash cash]

Greetings,
I am forwarding an inquiry from Prof Frawley at CAL, UC Berkeley, regarding
immersion camps.  He gave me his kind permission to post it here on ILAT.  So
feel free to provide assistance if you are so inclined.  Let us know too!

We are writing to you under the aegis of the Center for Applied Linguistics
(CAL) to ask your help with a CAL project involving Native American language
immersion camps. CAL is one of several partners in the Alliance for the
Advancement of Heritage Languages (http://www.cal.org/heritage/index.html),
an organization devoted to the preservation, instruction, and advancement of
heritage languages in the United States. Part of the Alliance's efforts is
the inventory and documentation of US heritage language programs in all
their forms - community-based, school-based, independent, etc. -- in order
to have a comprehensive database to assist instruction, assessment,
research, policy, and advocacy. We are having difficulty locating and
documentingNative American language immersion camps, and to make the database
as comprehensive as possible, we need information on them. Knowing your
position in the field, we would like to ask you if you would be able to help
us identify such camps. Would you be able to provide leads or introductions
to the program directors and/or tribes running these camps? We have a
standard set of questions that we ask about all heritage language programs,
but to ask these questions of Native American language camps, we first need
to locate them and then have contact with someone who administers them. Any
help you might provide in this respect would be greatly appreciated. Please
respond to Bill Frawley at bfrawley at cal.org.
