Heritage language policies define the context in which heritage languages are maintained or abandoned by communities, and this volume describes and analyzes international policy strategies, as well as the implications for the actual heritage language speakers. This volume brings together heritage language policy case studies from around the world, foregrounding globalization by covering five regions: the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia. The countries profiled include the United States, Canada, Argentina, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Uganda, Namibia, Morocco, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji. This volume also highlights an expanded definition of �heritage language�, choosing to focus on individual and community identities, and therefore including both Indigenous and immigrant languages. Focusing specifically on language policy relating to heritage languages, the chapters address key questions such as Are heritage languages included or excluded from the national language policy discourse? What are the successes and shortcomings of efforts to establish heritage language policies? What is the definition of �heritage language� in official usage by the local/regional government and stakeholders? How are these language policies perceived by the actual heritage language communities?

In this book the authors decry the creation of a version of Canadian identity that actively discourages the cultivation of many of its citizens' languages. If multilingualism is regarded as a valuable asset both for the individual and for society, then why do so many Canadians vehemently oppose the teaching of heritage languages? Why do many parents who demand that their children be given the opportunity to become bilingual in French and English protest angrily at the fact that their tax dollars are being used to teach the languages of immigrant children? Why is it appropriate to promote multilingualism in private schools but not in the public school system? Is multilingualism good for the rich but bad for the poor? Heritage Languages examines the difficulties experienced integrating heritage languages into official curricula, and the successful efforts to teach Ukrainian, Italian, Hebrew, ASL, Portuguese and Punjabi in Canadian classrooms. An Our Schools/Our Selves book.

Language in Canada provides an up-to-date account of the linguistic and cultural situation in Canada, primarily from a sociolinguistic perspective. The strong central theme connecting language with group and identity will offer insights into the current linguistic and cultural tension in Canada. The book provides comprehensive accounts of the original 'charter' languages, French and English, as well as the aboriginal and immigrant varieties which now contribute to the overall picture. It explains how they came into contact - and sometimes into conflict - and looks at the many ways in which they weave themselves through and around the Canadian social fabric. The public policy issues, particularly official bilingualism and educational policy and language, are also given extensive coverage. Non-specialists as well as linguists will find in this volume, a companion to Language in Australia, Language in the USA and Language in the British Isles, an indispensable guide and reference to the linguistic heritage of Canada.

This paper examines the use of heritage languages in Canada in an attempt to understand better the processes surrounding the maintenance or shift of these minority languages in Canada's different linguistic minority groups. Using data from the 1986 Census of Canada, it analyses the relationship between three components of language usage: mother tongue, home language, and official language knowledge.

This book's purpose is to present an overview of the accomplishments of the Canadian model of official bilingualism based upon the co-existence of English-speaking & French-speaking Canadians and upon a partnership between federal & provincial governments in serving citizens' needs & interests. It outlines some historical background to these events but concentrates on the recent period & implications for contemporary Canadian life. Chapter 1 describes the context of language change, federalism as a product of demography & geography, the historical origins of the English- & French-speaking populations, the current distribution of official language groups across the country, & the context for policy making. Chapter 2 outlines the objectives pursued by the federal & provincial governments for official languages in Canada & the actions of the federal government to improve the status & use of official languages in federal institutions, to support the development of minority communities & to promote English & French throughout Canadian society. Chapter 3 reviews the major shifts in provincial policies & programs for official language minorities. Chapter 4 is a balance sheet showing the results of 3 decades of sustained effort to the English & French equal status.
