Body
From http://nclrc.org/desilearn

Would you like to help DesiLearn identify K-12 programs teaching South Asian Languages?

DesiLearn is interested in learning about both heritage and community-based programs in addition to academic programs. The George Washington University – in collaboration with The Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages, the South Asian Language Resource Center (SALRC), an external evaluator, and an advisory board of scholars, administrators, and national South Asian heritage community leaders – will develop and execute a three-year study to gather comprehensive data on South Asian language programs (credit-bearing and non-credit bearing) from communities across the U.S. Upon completion of the research study and evaluation of existing resources and an overview of needs, a final report will address the short-term and long-term actions that should be implemented to strengthen South Asian language programs for school-aged learners in the U.S. The report will be published and the findings disseminated in professional language teaching conferences.
