We’re pleased to announce that the IPAP (Investigating Pedagogies for Advanced Proficiency) team has been accepted to present our Complexity study at the Heritage Languages Around the World 2 (HLAW2) conference taking place from May 29th to 31st, 2024 at UMass, Amherst.

The complexity component of the IPAP project has the goal of understanding the patterns of syntactic complexity, accuracy, and lexical use in the writing of heritage language learners (HLLs) at two major levels of functional proficiency: Intermediate and Advanced (following the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages, ACTFL, 2012 Guidelines).

Alberta Gatti, Daniela Castillo, and Syelle Graves will be presenting. Registration to attend all presentations is open at HLAW’s registration website.
