I am just hearing about Heritage Spanish. Is there a curriculum that can be purchased? Materials?

Margarita Casas from Linn-Benton College in Oregon wrote a curriculum and has published an economical text/workbook (under $17) that is on Amazon. Her materials can be found under Resources at the top of this screen and then Class Activities. Look for OER Casas.
I looked at the book in Amazon and it says primer semestre and it can be used in clases mixtas. Do you know if the book is aimed to Intermediate, novice or advance learners? My heritage students are in a mix class that is equivalent to intermediate mid or high. Thank you
Good morning! I recommend the activities on this page: https://heritagespanish.coerll.utexas.edu/resources/activities/. I have four instructional modules for intermediate HL classes, and some of my colleagues have other interesting activities too. Mine are under this title: “Spanish for Heritage Language Learners.” I hope it will help!
Hello! One of the wonderful things about teaching Heritage Speakers is that -in most cases- we have the opportunity to teach based on their needs and interests. The key element here is to differentiate your classes, and focus on certain skills/aspects you consider the most critical for them.
about the materials, I invite you to take a look at our resources webpage, I am very sure you can find a lot of excellent resources for your classes. Gabriela’s material is excellent as well as other resources you can find there.
Thank you Gabriela C. Zapata and OscarJoya E.
