The Institute, sponsored by the UCLA National Heritage Language Resource Center<http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/>, will focus on the linguistic, cognitive, and sociocultural advantages enjoyed by heritage speakers. Pedagogical approaches that aim to build on the bilingual knowledge of these speakers will be highlighted, as well as experimental methodologies in language sciences and sociolinguistic aspects pertaining to heritage language speakers.
