This volume presents a multidisciplinary perspective on teaching heritage language learners. Contributors from theoretical and applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, educational policy, and pedagogy specialists explore policy and societal issues, present linguistic case studies, and discuss curricular issues, offering both research and hands-on innovation.

- The term heritage language speaker refers to an individual exposed to a language spoken at home but who is educated primarily in English.

Research and curriculum design in heritage language education is just beginning. Heritage language pedagogy, including research associated with the attrition, maintenance, and growth of heritage language proficiency, is rapidly becoming a field in its own right within foreign language education. This book fills a current gap in both theory and pedagogy in this emerging field. It is a significant contribution to the goals of formulating theory, developing informed classroom practices, and creating enlightened programs for students who bring home-language knowledge into the classroom.

Heritage Language Education: A New Field Emerging is dedicated to Professor Russell Campbell (1927-2003), who was instrumental in advocating for the creation of the field of heritage language education.

This book will serve a wide audience, including readers with an interest in language policy, the teaching of heritage and second languages, and heritage language maintenance. It features a good mix between papers presenting new research and survey articles covering a more general spectrum. Each chapter is well-written and comprehensive, with a thorough yet concise exposition of background information and, where applicable, the particular study done. The book is suitable for use in a doctoral level course and will help introduce the pan-linguistic nature of the discipline to students who may be acquainted with the situation of just one language. --Laura Michele Callahan, The Linguist List, Fall 2008 (19.3345)
