1 Heritage Language Research: Lessons Learned and New Directions Terrence G. Wiley President, Center for Applied Linguistics Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University
2 Overview This presentation will provide a brief review of past issues, challenges, and recent trends in heritage language research. The Demographic Context of HLs in the U.S. Major Sources of Linguistic Diversity in the U.S. Research on Patterns of Intergenerational Transmission of HLs and Prospects for Maintenance Survey Research on the Status of Language Education in U.S. Schools Some Recent Trends in HL Research Possible New Directions in HL Research Implications for Language Policy Implications for Families and Communities Efforts by the Center for Applied Linguistics 1
3 Increasing Language Diversity in the U.S. Number and percent of LOTE speakers (in millions) (11%) 31.8(13.8%) 46.9 (17.9%) 54.9 (19.7%) Sources: McArthur, 1993, p. 43 and United States Census 2000, Summary File 3, Table DP-2 as reported in Wiley (2005); and United States Community Survey
4 Demographic Context: Languages that Are Increasing Language U.S. Census 2000 U.S. Census 1990 Increase % Gain Spanish 28,101,052 17,339,200 10,761,852 62% Chinese 2,022,143 1,319, ,643 53% Tagalog 1,224, , ,541 36% Vietnamese 1,009, , ,527 99% Korean 894, , ,563 43% Asian Indian (combined) 815, , ,050 27% Russian 706, , , % Arabic 614, , ,482 73% Portuguese 564, , ,730 31% Japanese 477, ,700 50,297 12% Haitian French 453, , , % Persian (Farsi) 312, , ,185 55% Thai and Laotian 269, ,300 63,467 31% Armenian 202, ,700 53,008 35% 3
5 Three Major Sources of Linguistic Diversity in the U.S. Immigration Initial European Migration to 1776 Immigration from Western Europe to the US Civil War Immigration from Eastern & Southern Europe from the late 19th Century to WWI More diverse immigration post 1965 to present Expansionism Eastern US to 1776 Annexations to 1819 (Louisiana & Florida) TX, CA and Mexican Session ( ) Alaska (1867) Hawaii (1895) Puerto Rico, Philippines ( ) Pacific Islands (post 1945) Transmission Disposition of receiving society (open v. discriminatory) Family Community (informal and formal associations) Social networks (local and international) Institutions (e.g., religion) Formal Instruction Wiley (2010) 4
6 Research on Transmission & Loss of HLs Major Representative Studies: Alba et al. (2002) used the 2000 US Census to focus on children 6-15 in newcomer families. Findings: The second generation was bilingual and had the ability to speak English well; the third generation rarely retained the HL, except in some border communities with proximity to Mexico or those Puerto Rican or Cuban American communities which have high population density. Pew Hispanic Center (2004) used a telephone survey of adults 18+ (of Hispanics and Latinos from 19 countries) to assess language dominance based on speaking and reading abilities in English and Spanish. Findings: There was a three-generational pattern of language shift similar to Alba s findings and those of previous studies (see next slide). Immigration & Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan LA (2005) This cross-generational study sampled nearly 5000 Mexican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and other immigrants. It focused on language speaking abilities and preferences. Findings: Rapid language shift and loss in even the 1.5 generation (see Table 1.4 below and Rumbaut, 2009 for further discussion). 5
7 CILS Study on HL Intergenerational Transmission / Loss Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) This study sampled (5000+ representatives of 77 ethnic groups. Through surveys conducted in San Diego and Dade County FL, it followed on 1.5 and 2nd generation children, who arrived in the U.S. before adolescence and US-born children of immigrants, living in Southern CA and South FL. It followed subjects for more than 10 years, into their mid- 20s. The surveys were conducted in 1992, 1995, and The CILS permitted both comparative and longitudinal analysis. Rumbaut (2009). 6
8 CILS Intergenerational Longitudinal Study Major Findings 1.5 Generation (those coming to the US between ages 6-12) In 1992, only 42% spoke English well; this rose to 77% in Just over half preferred English in 1992; but the overwhelming majority did in Generation (those coming to the US < 6 years old) In 1992, 77% spoke English well; this rose to 77% in In % preferred English; but 97% did so by However, 3 of 5 still use their HL with their parents. 2.0 Generation (US-born but both parents foreign-born) From1992 to 2002, about 90% indicated the spoke English well. Preference for English increased from 82% in 1992, to 98% in In 1992, about 96% used only the HL at home, compared with about 1/3 in 2002, And about 1/3 were using both languages in Generation (US-born with one parent foreign-born and one US-born) From1992 to 2002, over 90% indicated the spoke English well.. They overwhelmingly prefer and use English. About 2/3 use only English at home. See Rumbaut (2009, pp ) for more detail. 7
9 Conclusions and Implications of the Intergenerational Studies The CILS and IIMMLA data sets were merged in a secondary data analysis by Rumbaut (2009), who concluded: The analysis showed that even among the Mexican origin, the Spanish language died by the third generation; all other languages died between the second and third generations (pp ). The death of languages in the United States is not only an empirical fact, but part of a global process of language death... [A] foreign language represents a scare resource in a global economy; immigrants efforts to maintain that part of their cultural heritage and to pass it on to their children certainly seem worth supporting. Indeed the United States finds itself enmeshed in global economic competition [t]he second generation, now growing up in many American cities could fulfill such a need (p. 64). 8
10 Reasons for the Loss of Heritage Languages Necessity to acquire English Lack of awareness of language diversity as a resource in the broader population Negative attitudes/ideologies toward LOTEs Lack of educational opportunities, particularly in the early grades Lack of articulation in language education between lower grades, secondary schools, and institutions of higher education 9

23 What else is needed? Principles for Advancing an Agenda for Action 1. Development of policies that ensure there is no linguistic discrimination. 2. Providing adequate programs for the teaching of English to all. 3. Ensuring respect for both multilingual capacity and individual languages. 4. Promoting the status and enrichment of heritage and community languages. National Policy Statement on Heritage Language Development (2002) 22
24 What is needed in policy? A multi-branched educational policy that strengthens and integrates a variety of language programs, That connects heritage programs with advanced training programs; builds on heritage, immersion and overseas-experience approaches to constantly replenish a cadre of multilingual citizens who are capable of professional work; this requires developing rich and satisfying language programs that lead to a multilingual population with knowledge of and respect for other languages and cultures. Spolsky, Bernard. (2001, 2011) 23
25 What is needed at the community level? Principles for a Language Policy for a Heritage Language Community The community recognizes the importance of multilingual competence in its members. It supports programs that assure that everyone can develop full control of English for access to educational, economic, social and cultural development. It supports efforts to assure that everyone can develop a high level of proficiency in the community language for the maintenance of tradition and culture. 24
26 What role can families and communities play? Families and communities can foster bilingualism as a resource by providing opportunities for developing oral and literacy skills in both languages, ensuring the use of the community language in public domains as well as private, assisting in the maintenance and cultivation of the community language, providing ways of passing traditional language and culture between the generations, working with community schools, persuading public schools to respect and support community language maintenance, encouraging and respecting efforts by other language groups to do the same. 25
27 CAL s Efforts to Promote HLs HL Alliance- CAL hosts the Heritage Language Alliance Program Databases - CAL hosts databases of language immersion and two-way immersion programs Curriculum Development CAL works with programs to design curricula that are aligned with standards and appropriate for the students involved Learner Assessment CAL designs, provides teacher training on, and works with programs to implement assessments of speakers of many languages Program Design and Evaluation CAL works with programs to review their goals and scope and evaluate their effectiveness according to standards that are determined in collaboration Teacher Training CAL works with teachers and administrators to ensure that teachers working in language programs are fully equipped to work with the students in their classes. 26
