Institute, “From Overhearers to High Proficiency Speakers: Advancing
Heritage Learners' Skills,” is March 9. The application page can be

The Institute will take place from June 18-22 at UCLA; further details

Applications are invited from language instructors, linguists, and
researchers from other fields whose current focus involves heritage
language teaching and/or research. Limited funding will be available
for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, who are encouraged to

The Institute is sponsored by the UCLA National Heritage Language

developing the research base for heritage language education. This
year’s institute is co-sponsored by the NSEP National Language
Flagship Program as part of their Flagship Results 2012 initiative,
and will focus on research and pedagogical approaches that help
advance heritage speakers' language skills toward high levels of
proficiency.
