Addressing the Needs of Heritage Spanish Speakers
Description: Heritage Spanish speakers have linguistic, affective, and academic characteristics that require very different pedagogical approaches. Separate courses are the best way to address their needs appropriately, but when this is not possible, instructors must adjust lessons in the regular Spanish classroom. In this webinar, you will learn how to differentiate processes and products to best serve the linguistic and affective profiles of heritage speakers.
