Spanish Language Literacy and the Heritage Speaker in Rural Virginia by Sharon Spangler PDF Summary

Book Description: This research focused on the linguistic lives of Spanish/English bilingual middle school students living in an English dominant area of Virginia. The Hispanic community reflects a mixture of Spanish speaking origins encompassing many different Spanish speaking countries as well as Hispanics born in many different states of the U.S.A. First, second, third and subsequent generations of Spanish speaking immigrants populate this community, creating a complex mixture of traditions, languages and values. This blend of cultures presents questions as to how the people in the community support and protect their Latino identity and how they can preserve the native language. Previous studies indicate that bilingual students have cognitive and linguistic advantages that monolingual students do not posses. Research also says that literacy skills in the native or primary language transfer to new language learning. This study employed narrative inquiry to investigate factors that impact Spanish language use for Heritage Spanish-speaking students. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory (1994) and his PPCT theory (2005) frame the investigation into the environments in which the students use language. Bahktin’s language socialization theory and Vygotzky’s sociocultural theory frame the social and linguistic connections of the students. Audiotaped and transcribed interviews provided data for the analysis process. The analysis identified commonalities that became the basis for the themes and differences that brought new insight to the study. Findings compared with the selected literature and theoretical frameworks added clarity to the analysis.
