Generic Framework for Creation of Heritage Language Materials
This project will result in a generic framework, to be used across languages, for heritage materials and curricular design, providing a menu of approaches tailored to the needs and local circumstances of heritage learners.
Grant Cycle Year: One (2007-08)
Project Directors: Olga Kagan (UCLA) and Maria Carreira (California State University, Long Beach)
Project Evaluator: Guadalupe Valdés (Stanford University)
The framework will apply the principles of differentiated instruction to address individual differences among students and will contribute to the goal of helping teaching heritage learners attain academic and professional proficiency by the end of college.
