This book is the first volume to be devoted to the examination of
the application of the multiliteracies pedagogical framework to the
teaching of Spanish to heritage language learners in higher
education institutions in the United States. The Hispanic
population is a growing minority, and the presence of heritage
speakers can be observed in second language Spanish classes in all
levels of education, which presents unique challenges for
practitioners. This collection focuses on differing populations of
learners in educational settings in a variety of geographical
areas, such as Arizona, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio,
Tennessee, and Texas. The studies included in the volume offer
invaluable data and methodological insights into the instructional
advantages of multiliteracies pedagogies in heritage language
classrooms, and they will appeal to Spanish practitioners and
researchers, as well as those interested in the education and
practice of heritage languages.
Spanish remains a large and constant fixture in the foreign
language learning landscape in the United States. As Spanish
language study has grown, so too has the diversity of students and
contexts of use, placing the field in the midst of a curricular
identity crisis. Spanish has become a second, rather than a
foreign, language in the US, which leads to unique opportunities
and challenges for curriculum and syllabus design, materials
development, individual and program assessment, and classroom
pedagogy. In their book, Brown and Thompson address these
challenges and provide a vision of Spanish language education for
the twenty-first century. Using data from the College Board, ETS,
and the authors' own institutions, as well as responses to their
national survey of almost seven hundred Spanish language educators,
the authors argue that the field needs to evolve to reflect changes
in the sociocultural, socioeducational, and sociopolitical
landscape of the US. The authors provide coherent and compelling
discussion of the most pressing issues facing Spanish
post-secondary education and strategies for converting these
challenges into opportunities. Topics that are addressed in the
book include: Heritage learners, service learning in
Spanish-speaking communities, Spanish for specific purposes,
assessment, unique needs for Spanish teacher training, online and
hybrid teaching, and the relevance of ACTFL's national standards
for Spanish post-secondary education. An essential read for Spanish
language scholars, especially those interested in curriculum design
and pedagogy, that includes supporting reflection questions and
pedagogical activities for use in upper-level undergraduate and
graduate-level courses.
