Abstract
Heritage language learners' speaking and listening abilities makes them ideal candidates for reaching advanced and higher levels of proficiency in much less time than foreign language students. In order to reach these levels, however, they need a program that addresses their particular needs. The speaker will discuss two case studies (in progress) of high school students enrolled in a translation/interpreting program. She will analyze the pedagogical challenges faced by teachers, as well as the learning opportunities presented to young bilingual students who are already brokering communicative interactions with their families and immediate communities.
