Query:	At TESOL 2006, I went to a colloquium which linked Heritage Language speakers and Generation 1.5 students. Frank Noji from Kapiolani Community College was particularly informative in this regard. This was a particularly interesting topic for me since Academic ESL and Foreign Languages are housed in the same department at my college. Frank Noji has been kind enough to send me a first draft of his paper, and through that I was able to track down the article in Heritage Language Journal, ''Heritage Language Instruction for Post-secondary Students from Immigrant Backgrounds'' by Kimi Kondo-Brown, University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Other articles in the magazine are also interesting. http://www.international.ucla.edu/lrc/hlj/about.asp I would be interested in other articles that explore the Heritage Language speaker population, especially those which look at effective language teaching methodology for use with adults, particularly in a college classroom setting.
