Abstract:

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.
