HERITAGE LANGUAGEs PROGRAM
“Heritage” or “incomplete” language acquisition
refers to the situation of individuals who are exposed to a language
used in their environment during childhood that they may learn
to understand or even speak to some degree, but never fully acquire.
The idea behind the department’s innovative Heritage Language
Program is that such individuals have a set of skills, competencies,
and needs that are distinct from those of both native speakers
learning to read and write the language for the first time, and
also non-native
learners who may study it as a foreign language during adulthood.
These individuals therefore require a different type of language
instruction, one that builds on and enhances the linguistic skills
they already possess, and amplifies their cultural competence
and
literacy. The Heritage Language Program allows students to work
towards developing higher levels of proficiency in order to pursue
personal and professional goals.
Heritage language courses involve
two separate sections that must be taken concurrently. The “communication
and culture”
section is devoted to improving students’ communicative and
sociocultural competence. It emphasizes language functions for
oral
communication, reading, writing, and cultural understanding in
both social and professional contexts, vocabulary of sociocultural
topics,
and different language styles (registers) and text types. The “linguistic
analysis” section, designated by an “X” after
the course number, is devoted to improving students’ awareness
of the structure of the language. This section also emphasizes
the
history of the language, reading and writing on a wide variety
of topics, and dialect and language style (register) differences.
