[HERITAGE-LIST] Request for assistance: Request for input to Heritage Alliance database (with focus on LCTLs)

[Scott G. McGINNIS]

The Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages (the Alliance) consists of individuals and organizations dedicated to the preservation of heritage languages for cultural, social, educational, economic and national security purposes. The Alliance is committed to working together to enable heritage language speakers to attain high proficiency in their heritage languages while also developing English literacy.

The Alliance is hosted by the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington DC, and is collecting profiles of heritage language programs in K-12 and community-based settings. They are particularly hoping to enhance the number of LCTLs represented in that database, so as to have a more complete network in which ideas regarding heritage language programs are exchanged and strengthened. Please learn more about the work of the Heritage Alliance (www.cal.org/heritage) and enter a program profile at the following link: http://www.cal.org/heritage/profiles/submit.html.  You can contact us regarding questions or suggestions related to heritage education or the work of the Alliance through email: heritage at cal.org. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
