Request for assistance: Profile of HL programs in the USA

[Scott G. McGINNIS]

Heritage Language Programs Need You!


The Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages and 
the Center for Applied Linguistics (www.cal.org/heritage) 
are currently collecting profiles on heritage language 
programs in the United States. This online collection of 
profiles will allow heritage language programs in community-
based, K–12, and university settings to form a network to 
exchange ideas and resources with one another.

We need your help! If you are a teacher or a coordinator of 
a heritage language program, or a heritage language strand 
in another educational program, we encourage you to fill out 
a Heritage Language Program Profile. The profile form takes 
only about 20 minutes to complete and will provide you, as 
well as us, with interesting information about your program. 
You can submit it online or print and fax it to us. For more 
information and to fill out the profile, go online at 
www.cal.org/heritage.

Help us get the word out! With the help of all heritage 
language programs, we can offer a comprehensive collection 
of information and resources. Please let other heritage 
language program developers and staff know about the 
National Heritage Languages Web site and encourage them to 
complete a profile on their program.

Questions? We can help! If you have questions, email Adriana 
Val at aval1 at umbc.edu.

Thank you for your collaboration.
