La inseguridad lingüística en hablantes de herencia
En general, los hablantes de herencia experimentan inseguridad lingüística sobre su idioma de herencia. La inseguridad lingüística, o el considerar la variedad lingüística de uno como “inferior”, está sujeto a las ideologías lingüísticas y puede afectar el desarrollo de la identidad cultural y prácticas lingüísticas. Este estudio examina cómo dicha inseguridad difiere a través de hablantes de herencia con varios niveles de proficiencia y dominanc…
Heritage speakers reveal the dynamics of bilingual language regulation
Bilingual speakers are prompted to remain in a single language, switch between languages, or codeswitch by regulating the concurrent activation of their language systems and adapting to the demands of the communicative context. Unlike studies that compare language switching in bilinguals in distinct interactional and geographical contexts, this study investigates heritage bilinguals who may be required to manage their home and societal languages …

The role of metalinguistic knowledge in third-language development among heritage and late bilinguals
Aims and objectives: This study examined whether bilinguals’ metalinguistic knowledge (MK) across both of their languages as well as heritage/late bilingual experience contributed to the initial development of third-language (L3) morphosyntax using Japlish, a semi-artificial language. Methodology: 48 heritage and 63 late English-Spanish bilinguals were exposed aurally to Japlish sentences containing word order patterns and case markers. Participa…
The Provision of Information on Mobile Banking by Local Ambassadors
A large proportion of adults in the developing world remain without access to formal banking. We assess the effectiveness of a network‐based information delivery strategy in fostering interest to learn about and subscribe to mobile money services in rural and peri‐urban communities in Peru. We posit that lack of information about mobile money technology is a barrier to financial inclusion, which can be mitigated through social proximity. We desig…
An overview of TBLT approaches and cognitive processes with heritage language learners
Socioeconomic determinants of foodborne disease prevalence in Ecuador
Foodborne diseases are a global health problem. Every year, millions of people die worldwide from these diseases. It has been determined that the high prevalence of these diseases is related to unfavorable socioeconomic conditions of the population. In this study, the relationship between foodborne diseases and socioeconomic conditions of the population was determined using principal component analysis as a multivariate statistical analysis techn…
Exploring working memory and language dominance in heritage bilinguals’ writing processes
Heritage language (HL) bilinguals’ writing skills has been a topic of inquiry in the field of HL education. However, little is still known about HL writers’ writing processes and the contribution of individual differences to these processes remains unexplored. By integrating keystroke-logging and think-aloud methodologies, this study examined 61 Spanish-English HL writers’ pausing and revision behaviors during the completion of Spanish (HL) and E…
Autonomy at work as a predictor of hardy personality and motivation in sport facilitators
This paper studies the predictive capacity of autonomy at work and the hardy personality of sports professionals on their motivation-effort. The sample is made up of 112 sports facilitators from Extremadura. The OccupationalResilience Questionnaire and the Multidimensional Organisational Climate Scale are used. The results show that the autonomy factor does not correlate equally strongly with the different components of the hardy personality. Thu…
“Ahí está la diferencia, en el joke…”
A través de la exploración etnográfica-colaborativa y testimonial del concepto de joke (‘monte o selva virgen’), se analiza cómo los indígenas Pijaos del Resguardo Indígena San Antonio de Calarma (Tolima, Colombia) hacen frente a las dinámicas colonialistas del capitalismo relacionadas con el territorio. Históricamente el municipio de San Antonio hizo parte del proceso de colonización cafetera que se dio en Colombia desde mediados del siglo XIX, …

What Heritage Bilinguals Tell Us about the Language of Emotion
Variation in the language experience of bilinguals has consequences for cognitive and affective processes. In the current study, we examined how bilingual experience influences the relationship between language and emotion in English among a group of Spanish-English heritage bilinguals on an emotion-memory task. Participants rated the emotionality of English taboo, negative and neutral words and then completed an unexpected recognition test. To a…
Complexity in Instructed Heritage Language Acquisition
In this article, I reflect on the role of linguistic complexity in instructed heritage language ( HL ) acquisition by specifically examining morphosyntactic linguistic complexity as it relates to factors such as transparency, saliency, and communicative value. First, I critically evaluate previous proposals on linking formal HL studies to pedagogy by arguing that learning in instructed contexts is a complex task that requires research on a number…
Heritage Language Learners' Lexical Performance across Pair Types and (Non-)Digital Collaborative Writing Task Environments
A need exists to address how the availability of digital platforms plays a role in collaborative writing. Further, interest has emerged to understand heritage language (HL) learners' writing as a result of task-based peer interactions with either second language (L2) or HL learners across face-to-face (FTF) and synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) modes. However, it remains unknown how pair type and interaction mode can influence ad…
Physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior and psychological predictors in Chilean adolescents
The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior and psychological predictors of physical activity among male and female Chilean adolescents. A total of 70 male and 56 female Chilean adolescents (aged 13.00 ± 1.00 years old) were assessed for physical fitness (body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness), habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior (GT3X accelerometer) and psy…

The US Census projects that the Hispanic community in the United States will reach 128.8 million by 2060, and this growth requires a better understanding of Spanish as a heritage language (SHL). This essay examines three future areas of development within SHL instruction. First, more communication between communities of research and practice is necessary to improve classroom instruction. Second, novel SHL teaching materials ought to promote a "pe…
Social Information Processing in Deaf Adolescents
The goal of this study was to compare the processing of social information in deaf and hearing adolescents. A task was developed to assess social information processing (SIP) skills of deaf adolescents based on Crick and Dodge's (1994; A review and reformulation of social information-processing mechanisms in children's social adjustment. Psychological Bulletin, 115, 74-101) reformulated six-stage model. It consisted of a structured interview afte…
Microevaluating Learners' Task-specific Motivation in a Task-based Business Spanish Course
Scholars of task-based language teaching (TBLT) advocate for the identification of learners' communicative needs to inform syllabus design, particularly in language for specific purposes contexts (e.g., Long 2015). However, little research has applied TBLT principles in designing Spanish for specific purposes curricula. Moreover, despite the relationship between learners' task-specific motivation and task performance (e.g., Dörnyei & Kormos 2000;…
Is There a Cognitive Advantage for Spanish Heritage Bilinguals? A First Look
We report the findings from an ongoing study on the relationship between bilinguals’ language experience and cognitive control. Previous research suggests that early bilingualism exerts an advantage on executive control, possibly due to the cognitive requirements involved in the daily juggling of two languages (Adesope, Lavin, Thompson, & Ungerleider, 2010). However, other researchers also have argued against a cognitive control advantage in bili…

The Utility of Needs Analysis for Nondomain Expert Instructors in Designing Task‐Based Spanish for the Professions Curricula
The demand for Spanish for specific purposes (SSP) university courses in the United States has prompted widespread curricular change in language departments over the last two decades (Klee, 2015; Sánchez‐López, 2013). However, many instructors lack the tools and training needed to design SSP curricula that meet learners’ communicative needs in such contexts. Moreover, little SSP research to date has taken a task‐based approach to identifying lear…

A top–down, multidisciplinary study of the structure and function of the pack-ice ecosystem in the eastern Ross Sea, Antarctica
We used a top–down, multidisciplinary approach to examine the physical and biological environment of the pack ice of the eastern Ross Sea (approximately 125–170°W) during the austral summer of 1999/2000 from RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer and its ship-based helicopters. The approach focused on pack-ice seals while incorporating studies of biotic and abiotic factors that may influence the distribution and abundances of these apex predators in the Ross S…
