Anke had an amazing presentation at the ACTFL Conference in November on "Strategies to Support Immersion Project-Based Language Learning for Heritage Learners" that she’ll be sharing with us at our symposium. She also has valuable insights into working with endangered languages, so this year’s symposium will have an expanded focus on indigenous languages.
