Running Head: DELIVERABLE


My planned deliverable will include my literature review topic and planned
methodology. This literature review discusses Spanish Heritage Language maintenance
not in relation to the often-heated debate over immigration reform or other political
considerations, but rather in relation to the possible relationship between
bilingual/bicultural identity negotiation, heritage language use, and language ideologies.
The reason I have chosen to carry this dissertation is because Spanish Heritage
Language learners have unique and thought-provoking identities associated with
language that reveal varying degrees of agency. It is a challenge to disassociate
language and identity, especially in the different experiences Heritage language
students. This literature review includes concepts that capture the relationships between
language, identity, and the larger social, cultural context. Consequently, three major
areas of literature were reviewed: (a) identity, (b) language ideology, and (c) Spanish
Heritage Language.
To carry out this study, I aim at developing a theoretical framework by which the
studies data can be analyzed using an ethnographic approach. Observations,
interviews, and field notes will be the emphasis in the data collection. A qualitative
approach helps to describe and illuminate social phenomena, perchance even
discovering facets seldom produced from quantitative inquiry. Again, the purpose of this
study is to better understand the schooling experiences of 1st generation MexicanAmerican students in the Spanish heritage language (SHL) classroom and investigate
how SHL learners negotiate through identity construction.
