2008 JNCL Executive Summary
From J. David Edwards:
Happy Holidays! Attached is the final JNCL-NCLIS Executive Summary for 2008. To quote that brilliant bard, Frank Sinatra, "It was a very good year." As you can see, nationally many bills were considered and a number passed, including a new Higher Education Act, providing support for languages and language education; federal funding for Congress and international education increased in 2008; and some new and revised ideas for national language policies surfaced and were discussed.
