ACTFL Seeks Intermediate Level Heritage Speakers of Spanish
ACTFL is currently seeking Intermediate level Heritage speakers of Spanish between the ages of 18-29 to be part of a study designed to gather reliable data about the range and variety of spoken language profiles of heritage speakers.
A heritage speaker is one who learned to speak Spanish at home with their families or in an informal setting. An Intermediate speaker of Spanish is one who has basic survival language and is able to give and get simple information to satisfy basic needs in Spanish. These speakers can engage in simple conversations about self, family, daily activities, and personal interests.
Individuals qualifying as Intermediate Heritage speakers of Spanish who agree to participate in the study will be asked to provide biographical and linguistic data, and a sample of their spoken language proficiency.
Note - If you learned Spanish at home but then studied Spanish in school, you are eligible to take part in this project.
Those parties who are interested in participating can go to the websites indicated below to complete a qualification survey which will determine if they qualify as a heritage speaker:
Click here to take Spanish Qualification Survey.
Please note that all individuals who qualify as Intermediate Heritage speakers of Spanish will be asked to:
1) complete a second online survey, which takes approximately 3-5 minutes to complete;
2) take an ACTFL OPIc
Upon completion of both, participants will receive an official ACTFL OPIc rating and a payment of $25.
If you have any questions about this project or the surveys, please contact Jeanmarie O'Leary at joleary@actfl.org. Please use HERITAGE PROJECT as the subject line for all emails.
