discussion of families/intergenerational language transmission
- This could be a situation in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia or any other country.
- The literature you cite should be in English – translations are not recommended.
- You could focus on the private dimension: discussion of families/intergenerational language transmission. • OR you could focus on public policy or educational institutions (mainstream schools or complementary schools)[unique_solution]
In your report/reflection, you should be asking a question. For example:
- How successful are families in maintaining the (specify) language? What factors influence the results?
- Are the studies you have read robust and reliable? Can you critique them in any way?
- What is the future of the Heritage Language in this diasporic community? You do not need to answer this question definitively, but you need to investigate this question.
Your essay should include:
- A review of the literature (previous studies) conducted on the relevant community in the relevant host society.
