FYI: Heritage Language Research Priorities

[Scott McGinnis]

On September 21-23, 2000, a Heritage Language Research Priorities
Conference was held at UCLA. It was organized by a UCLA steering
committee as a follow-up to the first national Heritage Languages in
America Conference held in Long Beach, CA, in October, 1999. The
objective of the conference was to identify broad areas of research in
heritage language education and within these areas to define key
researchable questions that might be political, sociological,
psychological or linguistic in nature. Copies of the conference report
are available free of charge from the Center for Applied Linguistics,
