Valuable for colleagues in cultural institutions, mental health, community cohesion and human rights, both locally and globally, Heritage Language Education in a Multilingual World expands and updates the knowledge base for heritage language education in a multilingual context. The multidimensional framework provides clear structure, situating recent works across the field which contributes to important interconnections and underlying trends waiting to be uncovered. International contributors offer rich and comprehensive dimensions of heritage language work from linguistic, psychological, emotional, intercultural, environmental, and humanitarian perspectives, and encompass elements of critical thinking, lived experiences and personal development to strengthen current literature in the field. This book applies to academic disciplines across applied linguistics, philosophy, technology, sociology and anthropology, demonstrating to readers the potential inclusive dialogue can have on multilingual repertoires, and how interdisciplinary pedagogy, including art-based creativity, can positively affect heritage language planning, teaching, assessment, curriculum, and material development.
