There must be examples in India where new languages have been recognized /<br>
added to the list of scheduled languages in the Constitution several times<br>
(up to 22 now). Activists are busy trying to get more added.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Re: citizens getting involved in macro-language policy 2 things come to mind: The report on the grassroots development of the Washington state policy that supports the First Peoples' Language & Culture certification program is available at the link below. I recommend the 2007 Final Report.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pesb.wa.gov/home/firstpeople" target="_blank">http://www.pesb.wa.gov/home/firstpeople</a><br>
<br>
Similar grassroots efforts have resulted in similar policies in quite a few other states (e.g. Michigan), but I don't know of any other reports/ publications actually documenting this (other than Larisa Warhol's great work, already mentioned here).<br>
<br>
And a more individual story, of Kenny Pheasant, an Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) teacher in Michigan who got Grand Traverse County to reverse their decision to make English the official language of the county. County-level might seem small, but it's significant locally. I heard the story from him years later-- but here's a recent article where the event is written about (para 9), in addition to his overall teaching & mission.<br>

The October 2011 issue (Volume 23, Number 2) of the electronic journal<br>
Reading in a Foreign Language (RFL) is now online and can be read at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl/October2011/" target="_blank">http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl/October2011/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
In this issue, Patrick B. Judge reports on a long-term, multi-case study<br>
examining the motivations of eager readers in an extensive reading program<br>
at a private Japanese high school. In the second article, Cindy Brantmeier,<br>
Aimee Callender, & Mark McDaniel examine the effects of embedded "what"<br>
questions and elaborative "why" questions on reading comprehension with<br>
advanced second language learners of Spanish. And finally, Jing Wang &<br>
Christine H. Leland report on their study of what beginning learners of<br>
Chinese perceive as helpful in learning to recognize characters.<br>
<br>
This issue also includes two book reviews:<br>
<br>
Zahir Mumin reviews Studies in Language Testing 29: Examining Reading:<br>
Research and Practice in Assessing Second Language Reading by Hanan Khalifa<br>
& Cyril J. Weir. And the series of Real Reading: Creating an Authentic<br>
Reading Experience 1-4 by Lynn Bonesteel, David Wiese, & Alice Savage is<br>
reviewed by Pakize Uludag & CeAnn Myers.<br>
<br>
We also have a discussion in this issue, in which John P. Racine comments on<br>
an article by Meara & Olmos Alcoy that appeared in Volume 22, #1, April<br>
2010.<br>
<br>
In the last section of this issue, Cindy Brantmeier, Xuicheng Yu, and Tracy<br>
Van Bishop have a feature on Readings on L2 Reading: Publications in Other<br>
Venues 2010-2011.<br>
<br>
<br>
