This article describes a community action research study in the spirit of Caw and Kemmis (1 983) and Elliot (1 991). Language leaders in the Ukrainian community undertook a complex literacy initiative to investigate and improve Ukrainian-English bilingualism lbiliteracy in Western Canada and throughout the diaspora. In the context of the long-teim absence of research fundingfor developing and maintaining literacy in nonmajority or nonofficial languages, this article documents project activities over several years, presents the findings of student/teacher needs assessments, shares the approach to reading prefewed by participating teachers, and reveals some of the transformations teachers experienced in their own thinking about bilingualism and biliteracy as a result of their involvement in this initiative
