The goal of this program was to ensure continuity<\/div>\n<div>of education in case of the student\u2019s return to his\/her home country. Today,<\/div>\n<div>the third generation of Italians in Switzerland are considered \u201cappreciated\u201d<\/div>\n<div>foreigners. Their origin, nevertheless, exposes them to a public discourse which<\/div>\n<div>values multilingualism, while the familial linguistic heritage has not necessarily<\/div>\n<div>been passed down to them by parents. The present paper analyses eleven<\/div>\n<div>interviews and one focus group conducted with different actors of Italian school<\/div>\n<div>(current students, students of the second generation, and supervisors) after two<\/div>\n<div>exploratory classroom observations. The goal is to identify the extent to which<\/div>\n<div>the process of ethnicity is connected to the individual and a social motivation<\/div>\n<div>to (re)learn Italian within a French speaking community. The results show that<\/div>\n<div>learning practices of the third generation fall into the paradigm of symbolic<\/div>\n<div>ethnicity, highlighting the belief that the knowledge of the language of origin<\/div>\n<div>will enhance integration in every linguistic region and increase the chances of<\/div>\n<div>accessing the labour market. Participants are cultivating this bilingualism and<\/div>\n<div>considering it for their descendants, which indicates a discrepancy with the<\/div>\n<div>second generation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>italian language, Swiss multilingual education policy, third generation,<\/div>\n<div>cultural heritage, inter-generational transmission<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Nicole Chatelain, Francesco Arcidiacono Source : https:\/\/ijse.padovauniversitypress.it\/2018\/3\/8 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[285,7,151,9,175,161,162,372,374],"class_list":["post-2521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","tag-285","tag-article","tag-cultural-identity","tag-english-language","tag-italians","tag-language-education","tag-language-policy","tag-multilingualism","tag-third-generation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2521\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
