Heritage language learning and education: Cross-disciplinary perspectives
Faculdade de Letras, University of Lisbon, December 18, 2017
Greatly enjoyed participating at the inaugural event of the new Heritage Language Consortium at my alma mater. The symposium provided a snapshot of the exciting work conducted by some of our members in the domain of heritage and second language learning. Nice range of approaches (experimental, computational, and corpus-based), all of them essential to move forward our understanding of heritage language learning. And particularly pleased that we share the same mission: Understand the fundamentals of language and language learning, then apply this to boost educational effectiveness and improve language education.
