Jang, Eunjee; Brutt-Griffler, Janina – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2019
In a nation where monolingualism predominates, heritage language (HL) has been downplayed as less important in educational contexts in the U.S. Disproportionately little attention has been given to the role of HL in language minority (LM) students' attendance to postsecondary education (PSE) (cf.
