Abstract
Abstract: Given the increasing presence of heritage speakers at both the high school and postsecondary levels, greater numbers of preservice and in‐service Spanish teachers need exposure to Spanish for native speakers (SNS) issues. This is because well‐structured SNS courses should look more like native language arts courses than like Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) courses. Therefore, traditional foreign language methodology courses are insufficient to prepare teachers to work with heritage‐speaking populations. In addition to offering considerations for national standards in SNS teaching, the authors suggest coursework components designed to prepare teachers to work more effectively with SNS students.
