When designing heritage language curricula and teaching methods, linguists and educators attempt to address the ways in which heritage learners are unique.[33] In contrast to the teaching of foreign languages, heritage language teaching methods place more emphasis on literacy and experiential, content-based approaches.[2] Because cultural identity is a definitive part of heritage language learning, languages are often taught alongside cultural practices.[3] Teaching heritage languages is not limited to the classroom; it may be a part of other local community contexts, such as a volunteer work and internships, field trips, oral history projects, or Scout troops.[34][35]
