Reviews

"""This handbook sheds long overdue light on the status quo of major heritage languages mostly outside the U.S. It succeeds in presenting an important case to language educators, namely that they belong to a community and the more opportunities for dialogue that are created, such as this book, the better heritage education will be. This book also fulfills an important task - to indirectly argue that program development and teaching of heritage languages is an international field of research and policy making. This book is insightful not only for language educators but also for administrators, government officials and community leaders in both the U.S. and beyond."" Gabriela Nik. Ilieva, New York University, USA"
