[HERITAGE-LIST] Request for survey input: Interest in summer institute, issues in HLL education

[Scott G. McGinnis]

The National Capital Language Resource Center (NCLRC) and the Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages (at the Center for Applied Linguistics) are co-sponsoring a summer institute in Washington, DC for K-16 and community language teachers, administrators, and researchers to understand issues, principles, and instructional strategies for teaching heritage language learners. Participants will explore a diverse range of topics, including the design of their own curricula and lesson plans, differentiating instruction for diverse learners, selecting assessments and authentic materials, and implementing the ACTFL standards in curriculum development. Anup P. Mahajan (Executive Director, NCLRC) and Joy Peyton (Vice President, Center for Applied Linguistics) invite you to complete a 10-minute survey to help assess the interest of heritage language educators in participating in a workshop like this in the Washington, DC area. We also ask that you forward this survey to anyone for whom this institute would be of interest. You may fill out the survey online at this website: http://nclrc-aahl.weebly.com/index.html<blockedhttp://nclrc-aahl.weebly.com/index.html>.

Thank you for your time,
