SUMMARY:Career Pathways for Heritage Learners: Student Perspectives and Effective Resources
DESCRIPTION:NECTFL 2023 Presentation \nPresenters:  Leslie Fink\, Jamie Morgan\, Francesca Di Silvio\, Rachel Myers\, Mathilda Reckford \nThis session will share the results of focus group research with heritage learners of Arabic\, Chinese\, Korean\, Persian\, and Russian about their knowledge of and interest in federal careers that use their language skills. Participants will learn about high school and university students’ perspectives on the resources they use\, questions they have\, and obstacles they see in researching and pursuing possible careers. Presenters will describe how these insights informed development of free web-based resources to help language learners connect their strengths and interests to career pathways\, as well as how educators can support students to make these connections.

SUMMARY:The Path to Language Justice: A Conversation on the Strategic Role of Plain Language
DESCRIPTION:The Research to Policy Webinar series continues with the latest exciting installment. \nOver the past two decades\, we’ve seen major progress on language access in health care across the country. It’s time to take stock and assess where we are: on the path to language justice or have we simply achieved greater compliance with state and federal mandates? How are health care institutions being responsive to the languages and cultures of families they serve? Is there a strategic role for plain language to move us forward? \nDuring this live 30-minute webinar\, CAL’s Anthony Tassi interviews two leaders in the movement for language justice from very different backgrounds. Theodore Moore is the Vice President of Policy at the New York Immigration Coalition\, an alliance of more than 200 immigrant and refugee groups. Moore\, and the movement he leads\, has achieved significant local policy and funding wins for language access. Maricel G. Santos\, Ed.D.\, is a professor of English at San Francisco State University and a nationally-recognized expert in health literacy. Her research explores how adult learners can serve as agents of change in health care and how their participation in adult literacy classes acts as a health-protective factor. \nClick here to register for this event today!
