Resumen:

n the United States, heritage language speakers represent approximately 22 percent of the population and 29 percent of the school-age population. Until now, though, few studies have examined the outcomes of classroom teaching of heritage languages.

Outcomes of University Spanish Heritage Language Instruction in the United States sheds light on the effectiveness of specific instructional methods for college-level heritage learners.

Resumen:

Hay casi 50 millones de personas en los Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) que hablan español. Se estima que el 40% son inmigrantes y el otro 60% nace en EE.UU., en su mayoría hijos, nietos o bisnietos de inmigrantes. Al ser expuestos al español en el hogar o en redes sociales comunitarias o relaciones de familia extendida, muchos han adquirido capacidades comunicativas en este idioma pero son principalmente angloparlantes. Se les ha denominado ?hablantes de herencia?, ?bilingües? o incluso ?hablantes nativos? en el ámbito educativo; la enseñanza del español para ellos se conoce como heritage language teaching o español para hablantes de herencia (EHH).

Resumen:

Over the past two decades, Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) and Community Service Learning (CSL) in the United States (US) have gained traction in post-secondary institutions.

Resumen:

The NFLRC is pleased to announce our new Teaching and Learning Languages in the United States (TELL-US) podcast series. This professional learning series aims to examine language teaching and learning in the U.S. from the perspective of ?non-insiders? (i.e., teachers who have had to adapt to the culture of teaching and learning languages in the U.S., having come from a different cultural context). Focusing on two broad categories ? language pedagogy and school culture, the goal for this program is to create a professional learning resource for novice LCTL teachers who find themselves teaching in a similar situation. Although the podcasts will focus primarily on the LCTL teacher population, they can also be a valuable resource for any other teachers whose educational formation has taken place outside the U.S. Similarly, the episodes...
