By Julio Torres, University of California, Irvine

This webinar addresses the instructional needs of heritage speakers in mixed classes from a task-based language teaching (TBLT) perspective. Drawing on heritage speakers’ bi/multilingual experiences and insights from initial TBLT research with heritage speakers, the webinar offers practical considerations for differentiating tasks and activities to better support learners with diverse linguistic backgrounds and needs. It also invites reflection on the design of pedagogical materials that are responsive to the experiences of heritage speakers.

National Teach Spanish Week! ¡Semana Nacional de la Enseñanza del Español!

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 2023

National Teach Spanish Week (formerly National Teach Spanish Day) has been extended by popular demand to a week-long event! The program highlights student and faculty teaching and engagement with Spanish language and culture(s) in the US and abroad. The event is held each year in conjunction with Hispanic/Latino/Latinx Heritage Month.

The purpose of National Teach Spanish Week is

1. To promote the teaching of Spanish as a profession.
2. To call attention to the current Spanish teacher shortage (Pre-K-16+) in the US.
3. To emphasize the importance of Spanish as a world language.
