Hispania

Hispania, the official journal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), invites the submission of original, unpublished manuscripts on applied linguistics, cultural studies, culture, film, language, linguistics, literary criticism, literature, and pedagogy. Throughout Hispania's history, since its founding in 1917, it has published scholarly articles and reviews that are judged to be of interest to specialists in the discipline(s) as well as to a diverse readership of teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.

The December 2025 issue of Hispania (108.4) is now available.

Some highlights include:

One short-form article on AI and language learning.

Seven research articles addressing topics such as attitudes toward the use of Spanish on the South Texas border; problem solving in a Spanish for engineering course; cultural identity and resistance in Afro-Uruguay; the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on second-language Spanish teaching; citizen insecurity, criminality maps, and emergent territorialities of capitalist power in early-democratic Madrid; the centering of Critical Language Awareness in Spanish language teacher education in the United States; and the interdental fricative /θ/.

A robust book and media review section, featuring Non-Normative Sexualities in US Latinx and Latin American Literature Through a Capitalist Lens, Manual para la formación de profesores de español, and The Literatures of Spanish America and Brazil: From Their Origins Through the Nineteenth Century.
