Abstract
Global mobility and immigration have greatly diversified and enhanced the linguistic and cultural landscape of schools and communities. Yet, pre-adolescent children's integrative orientation lead to fast acquisition of the new language, identity shift, and changing communication patterns with peers and family members. This is precipitated in part by pedagogical approaches in schools and present a challenge to parental efforts to preserve the home language. At the same time, the growing number of post-adolescent heritage learners seeking to revitalize their native languages further underscores the need to develop alternative pedagogical approaches and prepare teachers who embrace diversity and enhance multilingual and multicultural contexts.
