User-Generated Materials for Heritage Spanish

Two goals of COERLL’s heritage Spanish project are to help teachers develop effective methods and materials for teaching multi-level heritage Spanish speakers and to help U.S. heritage Spanish speakers view their communities and themselves as valuable resources for learning about Spanish language and culture. The project directors and teams of students have been building activities around and expanding on the work of COERLL’s Spanish in Texas project. As the project progresses, more heritage speakers will create Spanish language materials and share resources and ideas with each other, through annual workshops and the project website.
