Developing Minority Language Resources - The Case of Spanish in California

This book documents ongoing language shift to English among Latino professionals in California. It describes instructional practices used in the teaching of Spanish as an academic subject at the high school and university levels to "heritage" language students who, although educated entirely in English, acquired Spanish at home as a 1st language.
