The Peer-Effect: Non-Traditional Models of Instruction in Spanish as a Heritage Language
The Peer Effect: Non-Traditional Models of Instruction in Spanish as a Heritage Language guides an important pedagogical conversation on the relevance of heritage language and literacy practices as resources for instruction, framing heritage teaching and learning as a social justice issue. Presenting ethnographic and discourse analyses of a heritage peer tutoring program at a university in California, this book focuses on the ways in which the dynamic translanguaging practices that Spanish heritage language (SHL) peer tutors mobilize in a non-classroom, student-led, collaborative academic space directly respond to the literacy demands of academic language development. Based on the in-depth analysis of peer tutors' translingual practices, the book advances scholarship in SHL pedagogy, providing concrete classroom-based examples, techniques, and activities that nurture equitable pedagogies for heritage student belonging, while challenging the deficit discourse that has traditionally governed the dialogue around literacy instruction for multilingual students. This versatile volume is designed for educators, researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of heritage language pedagogy, bilingual education, educational linguistics, and literacy studies for multilingual students.
Understanding and Teaching the Indirect Object in Spanish
Understanding and Teaching the Indirect Object in Spanish presents an easy-to-understand approach to all aspects of direct and indirect objects in Spanish. Distinguishing between direct and indirect objects can pose challenges for learners and is almost impossible to do using the tools that linguists have traditionally used. This book offers two simple, all-encompassing inferences that allow learners to tackle this area of language by intuitively inferring the distinction, as native speakers do, between verber and verbed. This book will be of interest to teachers and learners of Spanish and other second languages, as well as linguists interested in argument structure, second language acquisition, second language teaching or pedagogy, and multilingualism.

Language Use and Language Attitudes in Ju獺rez, Mexico
Four decades after her dissertation defense at the University of New Mexico, the author of Language Use and Language Attitudes in Juarez, Mexico (1983) presents a book that guides the interested audience through a conceptual and historical framework for understanding the role that language plays in shaping community values. Divided into two parts, this Reader presents the trajectory of a community, Villa Paso del Norte, that was split into two sides: "this side" and the "other side". The village was elevated to the rank of city, and the two sides became gradually differentiated after the Mexico-U.S. War (1846-1848). Part I reconstructs episodes on the foundation, evolution, and socio-demographic transformations of the not-so-new border region. It features the works of Jos矇 Vasconcelos and Mariano Azuela and their legacy on the Mexican side of the border. Part I addresses, too, the formulation of research questions and the design of the validation process. It includes additional bibliographic material and the original survey form in Spanish as presented to the subjects in 1980-1981. Part I addresses, too, the formulation of research questions and the design of the validation process. Part I is liberally spiced with autobiographical anecdotes, notes on cinematography, pop music and local folklore. It is prepared for the general audience. Illustrating quantitative data, Part II contains the six chapters of the original dissertation. It includes the correlation matrix with the summary of results (Appendix I) and the English version of the survey form (Appendix II). The references on the subject matter show that this work is heavily influenced by the tenets of the sociology of language and the social psychology of language. This work is enriched with data on both sociolinguistics and dialectology. It is ideal for graduate students enrolled in courses of sociolinguistics, the sociology of language, border studies and related disciplines.
