Description
This book explores the fascinating topic of heritage language learning, looking in particular at Chinese Australians’ learning of Chinese.
The author studies the investment, challenges and benefits of heritage language learning across varied contexts including school, work, home and in the community.
The book investigates how Chinese Australians navigate and negotiate their Chineseness and how resources are used to support their learning.
The book is based on a mixed methods study which uses Bourdieu’s sociological theory, and offers implications for sociologists of language and education, Chinese heritage language learners and teachers, as well as language and cultural policy makers.
