Website Launch for Heritage Language Teaching

Join us for an event to celebrate the launch of a website focused on Heritage Language Learning developed by Hindi Lector Mansi Bajaj.

Language classes provide students with the means to talk about the issues and topics they are passionate about. This website seeks to invite and amplify student voices in the selection of teaching materials, discussion topics, and prompts. The resources and ideas published on this site have been the products of interactions with students at the University of Texas, Austin (2019–2022) and Yale (2022–2024). This website is created to provide teachers of heritage Hindi classes at the university level with a resource for lesson planning and instruction around social issues. The materials on this site can easily be adapted to teach other levels of Hindi classes, and may offer inspiration to teachers of other languages.

This website is supported by the Center for Language Study, Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning, and South Asian Studies Council.
