This book discusses literacy development in heritage language
speakers and presents the results of four different quantitative
studies that investigate the transfer of literacy skills in bi- and
multilingual language development. The empirical studies focus on
different populations of pupils, most of them located in various
parts of Switzerland, and emphasise the potential residing in
shared or transferred resources between their heritage languages
and the languages spoken in the region to which their family has
immigrated. The goal of all studies was to gain an understanding of
the factors, both linguistic and non-linguistic in nature, that
contribute to the development of language skills in both the
heritage and school languages. Theoretical assumptions are put to
the test via hypothesis testing and the generally shared
assumptions on bilingual education are questioned based on the
data. Furthermore, methodological problems in the investigation of
linguistic interdependence are discussed. This book contributes to
the scholarly investigation of potential beneficial effects in
academic proficiency across languages in migrant children.
