New Language Nest Resource from B.C.

[Aliana Parker]

Hello ILAT members,

The First Peoples' Cultural Council in B.C. (www.fpcc.ca) has just released
a brand new resource, the *Language Nest Handbook for B.C. First Nations
Communities*. It is available to download as a PDF here:
http://www.fpcc.ca/about-us/Publications

Co-authored by Dr. Kathryn Michel of the Chief Atahm School and Cséyseten
Language Nest program, the handbook outlines the vision and goals of the
language nest model, summarizes research on language immersion at the early
childhood level and answers some common questions about bilingualism and
second language acquisition for young children. The handbook also provides
practical solutions to common challenges in running a language nest
program, based on the experience and knowledge of language nest program
administrators and experts.

A press release is attached.

Warmly,
Aliana Parker
