This months focus is on Language Policy.  It was the subject of the National Language Policy Summit held on January 10-11, 2005 at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  We will soon make a draft of the white paper from the summit available on this web site.  In the meantime, if you wish to read more about language policy, please see the  article by Bernard Spolsky, Professor at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, who provided the keynote address at the Policy Summit.  More information about language policies has been assembled by the Center for Applied Linguistics and can be found at http://www.cal.org/yol/statement.html.
