Over the past 20 years, this web site has reported on the English Only movement, bilingual education, Native American language revitalization, minority language rights, demographic data on language usage, and related issues. All previous posts – detailing research and events of the past two decades – remain on the site. To access them, simply click on the Archives button. For more current developments, please visit the Institute for Language and Education Policy, a nonprofit organization I helped to found in 2006 that is devoted to research-based advocacy for English language learners.
