The National Science Foundation will support the seventh Hispanic Linguistics Symposium and the associated Sixth Conference on the Acquisition of Spanish and Portuguese as First and Second Languages, to be held at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, October 16-18, 2003. The conference will provide a forum for scholarly exchange on issues related to Spanish linguistics, bilingualism and the teaching of Spanish as a heritage language. People of Hispanic origin now constitute the largest ethnic minority in the United States. Many of these are English-dominant speakers who wish to improve their Spanish speaking skills. For this reason two special sessions will focus on the use of Spanish in the United States and on teaching Spanish to heritage speakers. Another session will focus on quantitative approaches to Spanish and Portuguese linguistics.The Hispanic Linguistics Symposium is a major forum for the interchange of current research on the Spanish and Portuguese languages. Published resources associated with the symposium will make the latest research widely accessible. The symposium will not only advance the scientific study of Spanish and Portuguese but it will also promote the teaching of these languages through special sessions devoted to teaching methodology as it relates to second language speakers. The symposium will broaden the participation of an underrepresented group, Hispanics, through sessions oriented to their concerns and through outreach to attract them to the conference. Secondary school Spanish teachers from the State of New Mexico will be invited to attend. The larger society will benefit from the transmission of sociolinguistic knowledge that will inform the practice of teachers in the public schools, facilitating a more positive engagement with culturally and linguistically diverse students.

2003年10月16-18日，美国国家科学基金会将在阿尔伯克基市的新墨西哥大学举办第七届西班牙语语言学研讨会和第六届有关西班牙语和葡萄牙语作为第一和第二语言的习得会议。会议将提供一个论坛，就西班牙语言学、双语和西班牙语作为传统语言的教学等问题进行学术交流。西班牙裔现在是美国最大的少数民族。其中许多人是英语为主的人，他们希望提高他们的西班牙语口语技能。为此，将举行两次特别会议，重点讨论在美国使用西班牙语和向传统人士教授西班牙语的问题。另一个课程将集中于西班牙语和葡萄牙语语言学的定量方法。西班牙语言学研讨会是西班牙语和葡萄牙语研究交流的主要论坛。与研讨会相关的出版资源将使最新的研究广泛可及。研讨会不仅将推进西班牙语和葡萄牙语的科学研究，而且还将通过专门讨论与第二语言使用者有关的教学方法的特别会议，促进这两种语言的教学。专题讨论会将扩大代表人数不足的西班牙裔群体的参与，办法是举行针对他们所关心的问题的会议，并通过外联活动吸引他们参加会议。来自新墨西哥州的中学西班牙语教师将被邀请参加。更大的社会将受益于社会语言学知识的传播，这将为公立学校教师的实践提供信息，促进与文化和语言多样化的学生更积极的接触。
