Ebook: Learning and Not Learning in the Heritage Language Classroom: Engaging Mexican-Origin Students

Provides unique and frank insights into Mexican-origin student engagement with and resistance to learning Spanish as a heritage language

This book examines the first year of a charter high school and presents a case-study of compulsory Spanish heritage language instruction with both a dominant and non-dominant Spanish teacher. The study also follows the same students to their humanities-English class, bringing into focus what works and what does not with this group of learners.
