12 Irene on Sociolinguistics, Heritage, and Identity ICE-Breaking, the Podcast
-
- Bildung
What does it mean for you to speak your heritage language? To learn about your heritage culture? For some, this might be self-evident, but for an increasing amount of people this has become an important factor to maintain their identity abroad. Our contemporary world is characterised by human mobility globally. With migration, people bring along their own language while going abroad and the educational need to learn and develop a language or connect to native cultural, traditional and linguistic backgrounds increases. Our guest of today has been researching sociolinguistics, the study of sociological aspects of language, and Heritage Language Education. Quite coincidentally, we find out that we are both working as HLE teachers in a Greek and a Dutch school, and we share our experiences.
