[eal-bilingual] Bad link on previous posting

I typed the link in too quickly on my previous posting so here it is 
again with the correct link.

The current TES (6th July) has two accounts of bilingual research (go 
to page 30): Charmiane Kenner's work on multiliteracies and Raymonde 
Sneddon's work on cultural influences - both emphasing the value of 
living in two or more languages. 

A keen reminder that all this research is fifteen years late because 
the government officially killed multilingual/multiliteracy work in 
1992/3 when it closed down the 26 million pound Language in the 
National Curriculum and Oracy Projects and banned its dissemination 
because it would contaminate Standard English. LINC materials have of 
course been circulating unofficially among consenting adults and have 
continued to influence good classroom practice - many of us have used 
the multilingualism video. Now all the folders, radio and TV 
programmes 
are available on one CD rom or DVD. Go to:
www.collaborativelearning.org/newsletter.html 
for information on how to get hold of them plus an 
activity on similes inspired by LINC.

Are the HUBS recently set up by the strategy designed to disseminate 
good practice overall, or just to disseminate the "EAL toolkit" 
alone. 
I can't make it to the HUB meetings this week, so would be grateful 
if 
someone would ask that important question and post the answer (s) on 
ealbilingual.
