Recognizing and Dismantling Raciolinguistic Hierarchies in Latinx Health
Latinx individuals represent a linguistically and racially diverse, growing US patient population. Raciolinguistics considers intersections of language and race, prioritizes lived experiences of non-English speakers, and can help clinicians more deftly conceptualize heterogeneity and complexity in Latinx health experiences. This article discusses how raciolinguistic hierarchies (ie, practices of attaching social value to some languages but not ot…
Interprofessional Education for Students of Translation/Interpreting and the Health Professions
In response to the rising need for Spanish-English interpreters in the United States, there has been an increase in translation and interpreting and Spanish for the health professions courses in Spanish language programs (Martínez 2015). However, before Spanish students are exposed to a clinic or hospital context, they may have limited experience interacting with health professionals. Health professions programs encourage their faculty to develop…
Nurses’ Perspectives on Language Standardization in Health Care: The Silencing of Bilingual Health Providers
This article examines the ecology of language in an urban hospital in the U.S. Southwest. We seek to uncover how the incursion of the interpreting industry, and the ensuing language standardization that it has engendered, has affected the perception and use of Spanish among bilingual health care providers (HCPs), specifically nurses. Our findings show that the interpreting industry has not eliminated language exploitability (Alarcón & Heyman, 201…
Elevating “Low” Language for High Stakes: A Case for Critical, Community-based Learning in a Medical Spanish for Heritage Learners Program
Critical approaches to Spanish heritage language (SHL) pedagogy have called for more meaningful engagement with heritage language communities (Leeman, 2005). In a recent survey, furthermore, SHL students expressed a desire for more community-based activities in SHL curricula (Beaudrie, Ducar, & Relaño-Pastor, 2009). This paper reports on the outcomes of a community-based SHL program for medical purposes. SHL college students majoring in biology, …
Language-in-healthcare policy, interaction patterns, and unequal care on the U.S.-Mexico border
From Identity to Commodity: Ideologies of Spanish in Heritage Language Textbooks
This article presents a critical analysis of language ideologies in the instructional discourse of Spanish for heritage speakers in the United States. We focus on the discourse present in prefaces and introductions to Spanish for heritage speakers textbooks published between 1970 and 2000. Whereas previous research on language ideologies in heritage language instruction has tended to focus on standard language ideologies, in our analysis we broad…
Classroom Based Dialect Awareness in Heritage Language Instruction: A Critical Applied Linguistic Approach
The present paper argues that while the Spanish for Heritage Learners (SHL) profession has given ample attention to sociolinguistic issues such as linguistic standards and language variation in teacher training, it has not yet given sufficient attention to the promotion of dialect awareness among heritage learners themselves. After discussing the role of dialect in heritage language pedagogy, I review some of the ways in which dialect awareness h…
