Meeting Description:
Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning will
organise a Multilingual Early Language Transmission (MELT) expert seminar in
Leeuwarden, on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 April, 2010. The project focuses on
four European regions with a regional or minority language: Frisian in the
Netherlands, Breton in France, Welsh in the UK and Swedish in Finland. The MELT
project will do a comparative study on the provisions, approach en available
resources in the different regions. This also means looking at information for
parents on the benefits of multilingual pre-primary education in the own mother
tongue, and the available teaching resources. The study will make
recommendations based on the best examples aiming at the providing parents and
teachers with reliable information for their "informed choice" on bilingual or
multilingual education.
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
