Title | Engaging Heritage Learners with their Own Community |
Body | As learners begin to study their heritage language in a formal context, numerous emotions, identity questions, and perceptions can arise. A key to helping learners maneuver these feelings, both positive and negative, is engagement with one's heritage community. The interviews can be done in the language that learners are studying or in a different common language, depending on the level of the learner. Objective: To interview members of the heritage community about a topic of interest. Resources: Interview Resource Sheet Procedure:
Note: As is often the case in language classes, you may have heritage and non-heritage learners. In these cases, a number of modifications can be made to this activity. First, the learners can work in pairs to do the interviews, with non-heritage learners partnering with their heritage peers. In addition, all can interview someone in their home about the target language or non-heritage learners can also interview someone from the target language community. Choices about this context will be highly dependent on the local context. |
