[Scott G. McGINNIS]

(Please note that credit where credit is due is now included -- it was through the efforts of the NHLRC that this new SIG has been established.)

The National Heritage Language Center is pleased to announce that ACTFL has approved our proposal for a Special Interest Group (SIG) for Heritage Languages.  The mission of this SIG will be to promote best teaching practices when working with heritage language speakers across all languages, through the sharing of research findings, effective pedagogy, and the development of well-designed materials.

The first meeting of the new SIG will take place at the 2008 ACTFL Conference in Orlando, FLorida. 

Date: Sunday, Nov 23 
Time: 10:00 - 11:15
Location: Swan Hotel / Dove
