Recent studies in the field of heritage language assessment have found ceiling effects. In order to capture the full range of proficiency among heritage speakers ( HS s), this study presents the development and initial validation of a meaning recognition vocabulary test for Spanish ( CAVA ) that targets words of mid-frequency.

Default Grapheme and Language Transfer in the Spelling of /s/ in Spanish Heritage Language Learners
This study investigates the spelling proficiency of Spanish heritage language learners ( SHLL s) in the Spanish phoneme-grapheme correspondence that has been identified as the source of the greatest number of spelling errors: /s/ → s, c, z . Using a naturalistic corpus, this study aims to ascertain whether (1) s is SHLL ’s default grapheme in the representation of /s/; (2) cognate status is a facilitative factor in spelling; and (3) previous Span…

Understanding the Spelling Errors of Spanish Heritage Language Learners
This theoretical position article presents the current state of the research on college-aged Spanish heritage language learners’ (HL) spelling as well as the limitations of a descriptive approach to spelling research. The article also highlights the need to analyze and understand HLs’ errors based on the underlying cognitive-linguistic processes behind the assignation of graphemes to phonemes. In this article, I analyze Spanish misspellings in co…

Some authors, however, have expressed reservations about the instrumentalist perspective of the community that some SL initiat…
