The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Language Education provides the
rapidly growing and globalizing field of heritage language (HL)
education with a cohesive overview of HL programs and practices
relating to language maintenance and development, setting the stage
for future work in the field. Driving this effort is the belief
that if research and pedagogical advances in the HL field are to
have the greatest impact, HL programs need to become firmly rooted
in educational systems. Against a background of cultural and
linguistic diversity that characterizes the twenty-first century,
the volume outlines key issues in the design and implementation of
HL programs across a range of educational sectors, institutional
settings, sociolinguistic conditions, and geographical locations,
specifically: North and Latin America, Europe, Israel, Australia,
New Zealand, Japan, and Cambodia. All levels of schooling are
included as the teaching of the following languages are discussed:
Albanian, Arabic, Armenian (Eastern and Western), Bengali,
Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Czech, French, Hindi-Urdu, Japanese,
Khmer, Korean, Pasifika languages, Persian, Russian, Spanish,
Turkish, Vietnamese, and Yiddish. These discussions contribute to
the development and establishment of HL instructional paradigms
through the experiences of "actors on the ground" as they respond
to local conditions, instantiate current research and pedagogical
findings, and seek solutions that are workable from an
organizational standpoint. The Routledge Handbook of Heritage
Language Education is an ideal resource for researchers and
graduate students interested in heritage language education at home
or abroad.
