Abstract

This study researches the pedagogical needs of learners of Spanish as a Heritage Language (HL) at the university level. Based on an analysis of the Heritage Language student profile in the context of the United States and by using the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Modern Languages and Literatures Department as an illustrative case, this study seeks to explore arguments in favor of providing training for university - level instructors of Spanish that responds to the specific pedagogical need of Heritage Language Learners.
