Heritage Language Journal Issue on Russian as a Heritage Language is On Line

[Susan Bauckus]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that a special issue of the Heritage Language Journal, on Russian as a Heritage Language, has just been published and can be found on line at: www.heritagelanguages.org. David Andrews (Georgetown University) brilliantly guest edited the issue. Articles are as follows:
 
1) Computer Mediated Communication: Tools for Instructing Russian Heritage Language Learners, by Carla Meskill and Natasha Anthony, State University of New York at Albany; 
2) Overcoming Aural Proficiency: Pitfalls for Heritage Learners in Russian Cyberspace, by Donald Loewen, Binghamton University; 
3) Gender Under Incomplete Acquisition: Heritage Speakers' Knowledge of Noun Categorization, by Maria Polinsky, Harvard University; 
4) Lost in Between: The Case of Russian Heritage Speakers, by Ludmila Isurin, Ohio State University, and Tanya Ivanova-Sullivan, University of New Mexico; 
5) Mechanisms of Verbal Morphology Processing in Heritage Speakers of Russian, by Natalia Romanova, University of Maryland; and 
6) Teaching Russian as a Heritage Language in Finland, by Ekaterina Protassova, University of Helsinki. 
In addition, Prof. Andrews has written a comprehensive introduction. 

We hope this issue is of interest to the SEELANGS community and beyond. Papers are accessible to Russianists and non-Russianists alike since all Russian text has been glossed and translated, and where relevant (most of the time) transliterated as well.

The Heritage Language Journal is an online, peer-reviewed journal focusing on heritage language knowledge and education. It is published by the National Heritage Language Resource Center (www.nhlrc.ucla.edu) and the UC Consortium on Language Learning and Teaching (http://uccllt.ucdavis.edu/).
