Advances in Spanish as a Heritage Language
Edited by Diego Pascual y Cabo
Published by John Benjamins Publishing Company
Bringing together contributions from some of the leading experts in the field of Spanish as a Heritage Language, this volume aims to provide an in-depth understanding of current and emerging trends in research and praxis. To this end, the volume is divided into three thematic units. The first unit surveys the study of Spanish heritage speaker bilingualism from a formal/theoretical linguistic point of view. The second unit focuses on issues shaping the current state of affairs in heritage language education. Finally, the third unit maps out future lines of development within heritage language instruction. The wide topical scope within this single volume will undoubtedly provide a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals working in different areas of Spanish as a heritage language.

The goal of the BHL conference is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Hence, the BHL is dedicated to research in any area related to bilingualism, including theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, language contact, second language and bilingual acquisition, heritage languages, communication, education, and psycholinguistics.

Call for Chapter Proposals: Teacher Agency
Theorizing and Analyzing Language Teacher Agency (Tentative Title)
Submission Deadline: September 30, 2016
The editors are seeking proposals for chapters that address the construct of language teacher agency through theoretical and/or empirical research in second language studies. In particular, we are interested in chapters that draw on a range of theories of or approaches (e.g., activity theory, positioning theory, feminist theory, etc.) to language teacher agency that expand our understanding of the concept as well as manuscripts that present varying analytic approaches adopted in empirical studies (e.g., discourse studies, narrative inquiry, systemic functional linguistics, etc.). Chapters can analyze the connection of agency to other relevant topics, such as teacher identity, emotions, teacher cognition, positioning, accountability, curriculum change, language policy, etc.
