BILINGUAL was set up in March 1996 at the Hong Kong Institute of Education.
It aims to provide researchers, teachers, and policy makers with an open forum
to address issues pertinent to bilingual education and language planning in
Hong Kong and around the world.
Hong Kong is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating places for linguists.
Language education in Hong Kong is presently not just a hot intellectual
issue, it is also a serious practical concern for every educator. We hope that
this open forum would help researchers, teachers, and policy makers on both
theoretical and practical fronts. We welcome suggestions from colleagues
around the world who share our concerns over the Hong Kong situation. And of
course, ideas and experiences in language planning and bilingual education
from other parts of the world will be more than welcome as well.

BILINGUE-L is devoted to elementary teachers of Spanish/English. It is a
forum for questions and discussion of any issues relating to serving the needs
of Spanish-speaking students becoming literate in Spanish as well as in
English; English-speaking students developing high levels of proficiency in
Spanish while making normal progress in English development; both language
groups performing academically at their grade level, developing positive
attitudes toward the two languages being learned and toward the communities
they represent, and developing a positive self-image. It is assumed that a
second language is best learned not as the object of instruction, but rather
as the medium of instruction, through a content-based curriculum. Discussion
may focus on areas of instruction, methods, evaluation, materials, and
resources.
Dialogue may be in either Spanish or English.
Bilingue-L is moderated by Lynn Thompson and is sponsored by Reynolds
School District #007.

The Language and Culture electronic group (or `L-C', for short) is an
electronic forum that discusses inter-disciplinary research about language,
culture, and social interaction. L-C discussion heavily leans toward
linguistic anthropology and allied fields, generally emphasizing analyses of
texts in/as society and culture.
Three pursuits organize L-C:
A. To create an interdisciplinary forum in
which scholars with a diverse set of interests relating to language and
culture can interactively communicate across disciplinary boundaries.
B. To
complement the task of writing and submitting papers for publication in
professional journals.
C. To facilitate technology assisted research by
making advanced, research-caliber technology sensibly available to the group.
