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.
