Current Publications
(2002-2003) MLAR Board took the responsibility, with funding assistance from Canadian Heritage, for a special project Shaping the Future through Heritage/International Languages. Two components of the project were the publication of a booklet on the Advantages of Learning a Heritage Language: Selected Essays and the production of a video Heritage Languages: A link to the past, our bridge to the future.
