Book excerpt: "The Peer Effect: Non-Traditional Models of Instruction in Spanish as a Heritage Language guides an important pedagogical conversation on the relevance of heritage language and literacy practices as resources for instruction, framing heritage teaching and learning as a social justice issue. Presenting ethnographic and discourse analyses of a heritage peer tutoring program at a university in California, this book focuses on the ways in which the dynamic translanguaging practices that Spanish heritage language (SHL) peer-tutors mobilize in a non-classroom, student-led, collaborative academic space directly respond to the literacy demands of academic language development. Based on the in-depth analysis of peer tutors' translingual practices, the book advances scholarship in SHL pedagogy, providing concrete classroom-based examples, techniques and activities that nurture equitable pedagogies for heritage student belonging, while challenging the deficit discourse that has traditionally governed the dialogue around literacy instruction for multilingual students. This versatile volume is designed for educators, researchers, practitioners and students in the fields of Heritage Language Pedagogy, Bilingual Education, Educational Linguistics and Literacy studies for multilingual students"--

This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity and Communicative Competence in Spanish for Specific Purposes analyzes the experiences of three Spanish for specific purposes (SSP) students, offering insight into the intersectionality of society, politics, identity, and linguistics in community-based settings. Analyses provide empirical evidence to a growing body of work about how experiential language learning (EX-LL) enhances student preparation to utilize target languages in professional services. Ethnographic portraits and discourse analysis also illustrate how EX-LL, such as internships, provides students with opportunities to position and protect their identities using linguistic and extralinguistic resources. Discussions are presented throughout the volume on how to implement EX-LL from a critical perspective that supports students while mutually benefiting community members. Harnessing community members’ stories to contextualise and illustrate the disparities U.S. Hispanic/Latinx communities face in accessing high-quality care and services, the volume proposes SSP as a form of advocacy to narrow this gap while simultaneously enhancing students’ skills in Spanish. Designed for graduate students, educators, researchers, and program developers in SSP, second language acquisition, heritage language pedagogy, and sociolinguistics, this volume will prompt the reader to (re)imagine how language learning traverses society, politics, and identity in community-based settings.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study builds on previous scholarship that examines the everyday language and literacy practices of linguistically diverse communities as resources for teaching and learning. It argues that only by valuing non-dominant linguistic practices in academic contexts will educators achieve equitable pedagogies that incorporate students’ range of linguistic and literacy resources in the service of their learning. It adopts theoretical frameworks that conceptualize literacy as the reflection of particular social and cultural practices embedded in complex political, socially-situated spaces (Scribner, 1997; Cope & Kalantziz, 2009) to shed light on the untraditional, yet contextually-innovative literacy practices that heritage students deploy in a non-classroom academic context, many of which resemble the academic literacy demands of traditional classrooms. Arguing for the importance to critically examine bi/multilingual student practices in academic contexts, this study investigates the translingual academic literacy practices of a group of six undergraduate speakers of Spanish as a heritage language who work as academic peer tutors within a Spanish for Heritage Speakers Program at a large public university. This study uses ethnography methodologies as well as Conversational Analysis (CA) grounded in Appraisal Theory (an extension of Systemic Functional Linguistics) (Martin & White, 2005) to investigate tutors’ contextually motivated use of language across transcriptions of tutoring session video recordings throughout 11 weeks (1 academic quarter). The analysis demonstrates that peer tutors mobilize translingual literacy practices with the two overarching goals of supporting their tutees’ academic literacy and building community, illustrating the powerful impact of a student-led academic community. In all, this dissertation demonstrates that tutors’ use of language mobilizes highly structured, socially-situated, semantic practices. By using social approaches to literacy to explore the language and literacy practices that heritage students deploy in a non-classroom academic context, this work presents counter-narratives that challenge the deficit discourse that has traditionally governed the dialogue around literacy instruction for multilingual students.

Download or read book Spanish Heritage Language Learners in the U S written by Raquel Cristine Figur and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish heritage language learners are a growing population of students in the United States (U.S.). The 2015 Census Bureau states that 17.6% of the U.S. population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, and the Hispanic population is projected to grow 86% between now and the year 2050. Hispanic children constitute 25% of the U.S. population of children, and 13.1% of residents of the U.S. age five and older speak Spanish at home. This paper discusses some of the issues faced by heritage language learners, and some of the programs that are offered to these students in elementary, secondary and post-secondary education. It is argued that dual language programs support heritage language learners in elementary and secondary education, as their goals promote bilingualism, biliteracy and biculturalism, and they, therefore, help maintain the heritage language. In post-secondary education, colleges and universities are now offering Spanish heritage language tracks to serve these language learners who have different linguistic and academic needs than other Spanish as a second language learners.
