Body:

From https://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/hsld.4/main

Transfer Effects in Multilingual Language Development
Edited by Hagen Peukert
Published by John Benjamins Publishing Company

This volume, dedicated to language transfer, starts out with state-of-the-art psycholinguistic approaches to language transfer involving studies on psycho-typological transfer, lexical interference and foreign accent. The next chapter on Transfer in Language Learning, Contact, and Change presents new empirical data from several languages (English, German, Russian, French, Italian) on various transfer phenomena ranging from second language acquisition and contact-induced change in word order to cross-linguistic influences in word formation and the lexicon. Transfer in Applied Linguistics scrutinizes, on the one hand, the external sources of language transfer by investigating bilingual resources and the school context, but also by pointing out the differences in academic language in multilingual adolescents. On the other hand, internal sources of language transfer in multilingual classrooms are illuminated. A final chapter directs its focus on methodological issues that arise when more than one language is studied systematically and it offers a solution on causal effects for the investigation of heritage language proficiencies. The chapter also includes studies that exploit more innovative methodologies on L1 identification and clitic acquisition.

2015 Community-Based Heritage Language Schools: Promoting Collaboration among Educators, Families, and Researchers
September 19, 2015
Washington, DC

Many language communities in the United States have established schools and programs to teach a wide variety of heritage languages. These programs face similar challenges, which include maintaining sustainable funding levels, involving families fully and effectively in the language development enterprise, finding and supporting effective teachers, developing curriculum and materials that engage students and promote learning, and receiving recognition from the formal public and private school education community.

Building on the success of last year's heritage languages conference at American University, this year's conference will bring together teachers, administrators, and parents involved in community-based language schools, along with language researchers, to explore ways to address these important issues together.

The conference will feature presentations and workshops by leaders in the field of heritage language education who will also lead discussions with educators and parents as they share best practices to help us collaboratively seek effective solutions to common challenges.

Title: Survey of Applied Linguistics Programs
Body:

From http://www.cal.org/what-we-do/projects/survey-of-applied-linguistics-programs

The goal of this project, sponsored by the Center for Applied Linguistics, was to investigate the current state of applied linguistics graduate programs in the United States. The results of the survey are presented as a series of searchable PDFs designed to provide information on current applied linguistics programs and may provide a basis for discussion about not only the current state of applied linguistics but also where the field should concentrate its effort in the next half century.
