Welcome to the AATJ Japanese Heritage Language Special Interest Group (JHL SIG) page
** THE HERITAGE LANGUAGE SIG WILL MEET IN PHILADELPHIA DURING THE 2012 FALL CONFERENCE AT ACTFL. THE MEETING WILL BE HELD AT 3:00 P.M. ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, IN ROOM 109A OF THE CONVENTION CENTER. **
The JHL SIG was established to provide a home base for collecting and disseminating research findings in the field, and promoting JHL education. It also aims to provide a forum for discussing JHL issues. We publish research papers and reports on curriculum and instructional materials through our on-line journal, post conference paper abstracts on the SIG web site, and host a mailing list for information exchange and discussion on JHL issues. We usually have business meetings at the AATJ Annual Spring Conference/AAS Annual Meeting and at the AATJ Fall Conference ACTFL Annual Convention. All AATJ members who are interested in JHL education and research are welcome.
