Re: Inquiry: Formation of heritage SIGs for ACTFLAn addendum to Akira's posting below: there will also be a plenary at ACTFL this year on the role of culture in language teaching -- for which one of the speakers will be Guadalupe Valdes, whose presentation will touch in some way on what sorts of cultural background heritage learners bring to the classroom. Thanks for the direct and indirect reminders, Akira!

Christy has planned a presentation on Native American languages and I have recommended a couple of people who would be effective in doing the presentation at Salt Lake City ACTFL conference.  So, she is serious about reaching out to indigenous languages and their language programs.  So, while our initiative is getting formulated, we should continue to be in close contact with ACTFL .
