DESCRIPTION:Complementary schools are community-run language schools opera
 ting on weekends and weekdays after school with the aim of developing the 
 heritage language and cultural understanding of students. They have been o
 perating since the 1800s in the UK\, North America and Australia and preda
 te national education. They represent a key language education sector worl
 dwide with over two million students and operate in most countries with mi
 gration and minority languages. Despite groundbreaking studies 50 years ag
 o in the US (Joshua Fishman) and UK (Linguistic Minorities Project) this s
 ector has been largely ignored by researchers. In this workshop/lecture\, 
 I will outline what we know about community languages schools (key finding
 s and research themes) drawing on a review of some 350 studies\, articles 
 and reports (2001 – 2022). I will also discuss what we do not know and w
 hat research opportunities exist in this field.\n\nKen Cruickshank is Prof
 essor of Education and EAL at the University of Sydney. He has taught EAL 
 and Languages at primary\, secondary and tertiary levels. Community Langua
 ges Schools have been his research focus for the past few years. He is fou
 nding director of Sydney Institute for Community Languages Education https
