We are thrilled to announce that the RISLUS Research Forum is back as part of the NWAV51 conference (Queens College, CUNY)! It will take place on day one of the conference (10/13) as one of four concurrent sessions. This year’s installment of the RISLUS RF will reflect several focus areas of RISLUS researchers in recent years, covering topics in heritage languages studies and bilingual literacy developments among the speakers of minoritized languages in urban settings.” For more information, see the RISLUS-sponsored session on the NWAV51 program (registration required).

Jennifer Chard, Anthony Vicario, Elizabeth Garza, and Gita Martohardjono will present a paper titled Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Multilingual Literacy Assessments at the 52nd  Conference of the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) in Portland, Oregon, Feb 23-25, 2023. This presentation is based on work of the Multilingual Literacy SIFE Screener and Newcomer Assessment projects at RISLUS.
