    Message 1: Language Policies in Latin America

    Subject: Language Policies in Latin America


    I'm writing to ask for some assistance with my research on language policies in Latin American countries.

    As an International Studies student, I am required to create a research design on language policy in any two Latin American. countries . This is for a Political Science class, so the focus of the research design is to be on governmental policy related to language education and/or language usage. My question is: Why do the policies in *these* two countries differ as they do? The problem is that I know shameful little about the SLA situation in ANY Latin American country, and nothing about the policies in place. I need some help with finding that information.

    If anyone can point me to some resources on Latin American language policies (written in English), I would be most appreciative.

    Thank you much for your help,

    Dear colleagues,

    we are looking for acoustic cues for hearing assessment in profoundly deaf infants (6-18 months).

    Thanks for any suggestions,
