"Yo hablo el español de mi pueblo": A Conscious Curriculum for the Heritage Language Learner
Moreno, Gabriela
Dimension, p59-71 2021
The search for a more comprehensive and conscious curriculum for Spanish heritage language learners and Spanish native speakers (SHL/SNS) is a task that many educators are making a priority due to the diversity in the classroom. This paper focuses on presenting the theoretical framework and approaches that have facilitated SHL/SNS instruction in our institution in the Southwest. The theoretical framework includes a Culturally and Linguistically Responsive (CLR) approach, the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, funds of knowledge, and Pueblo-based pedagogy, followed by activities that have been effective in establishing a conscious curriculum in SHL/SNS pedagogy.
