This book contributes to building the research knowledge that
language teaching professionals need in developing curriculum for
the large population of East Asian heritage students (including
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) in countries like the United States,
Canada, and Australia, where speakers of East Asian languages are
among the fastest growing populations. Heritage learners are
defined as those who initially acquired certain levels of
linguistic and cultural competence in a non-dominant language
mainly through interaction with foreign-born parents and other
family members at home.
Heritage language instruction is currently a "hot topic" and is
becoming a sub-discipline within the fields of foreign language
education and applied linguistics. Special instruction for heritage
language learners is on the rise, particularly in the U.S. and
Canada. Providing theoretical and practical information about
heritage-language instruction in terms of curriculum design,
learner needs, materials development, and assessment procedures,
the goal of this book is not only to promote research about
heritage students in East Asian languages but also to improve the
teaching of these students in various educational settings and all
over the world, especially in English speaking countries. The
volume is organized in four sections:
*Overview-addressing the timeliness, necessity, and applications of
the work and issues and future agendas for teaching Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean heritage students;
*Language Needs Analysis;
*Attitude, Motivation, Identity, and Instructional Preference;
and
*Curriculum Design, Materials Development, and Assessment
Procedures
"Teaching Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Heritage Language Students
"is intended as a primary text or reference for researchers,
educators, and students in the areas of curriculum, pedagogy, and
assessment studies related to teaching bilingual and heritage
students in general and East Asian heritage students in particular.
