Abstract:

Community/heritage language schools exist across the world, and yet
little is known of the languages they teach, how they are organised
and what students learn. Teachers in mainstream schools are generally
unaware of the language and cultural knowledge their students are
gaining from these schools. This book provides an overview of this
educational sector and crucially how it interacts with mainstream
education.
Students of all ages describe what they think of the schools, how
language learning impacts on their senses of self and their attitudes
to their cultures and languages, and the role of their languages in
everyday life. Teachers share their experiences, perceptions and
practices. Parents and grandparents report the importance of
community/heritage language schools for families, communities and
broader society.
The book offers both an in-depth study of this type of education in
New South Wales, Australia, and insights that will be of use in
language education across the world.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
