> Hello ILAT members,

> The First Peoples' Cultural Council in B.C. (www.fpcc.ca (http://www.fpcc.ca)) has just released a brand new resource, the Language Nest Handbook for B.C. First Nations Communities. It is available to download as a PDF here: http://www.fpcc.ca/about-us/Publications   
>  
> Co-authored by Dr. Kathryn Michel of the Chief Atahm School and Cséyseten Language Nest program, the handbook outlines the vision and goals of the language nest model, summarizes research on language immersion at the early childhood level and answers some common questions about bilingualism and second language acquisition for young children. The handbook also provides practical solutions to common challenges in running a language nest program, based on the experience and knowledge of language nest program administrators and experts.
