Acquisizione e apprendimento linguistico degli heritage speakers russofoni della scuola N. Gogol’ di Roma: ultimi sviluppi dell’indagine

Abstract

In the last few decades the study of the so called ‘heritage languages’ has become an emerging field in the research of bilingualism, because migrant people often try to maintain their identities and minority languages. This work resumes a new testing experience, which has been conducted four years after the last one (2013), with some Russian heritage speakers (HS) living in Italy and attending a Russian Saturday school in Rome. It will focus on the difficulties of language acquisition and the possibility for the HS to develop a better language competence through formal learning.
