Abstract
Abstract
Prior research has sought to describe how teachers view and approach attention to partner language (PL)
development in Spanish immersion settings (Cammarata & Tedick, 2012; Fortune et al., 2008; Lindholm-Leary, 2001;
Walker & Tedick, 2000). However, it has not focused specifically on the
particularities of two-way immersion (TWI), which is unique for its inclusion of both heritage speakers and second language
learners. The current project adds to existing knowledge by using teacher interviews and a survey to report a qualitative case
study of three TWI teachers’ beliefs and practices. Data is triangulated through PL student testing and analysis of classroom
observations. Results confirm many of the findings of prior research, especially regarding teachers’ perceived need for increased
guidance and resources. They also provide insight into how TWI teachers view PL development in the two groups of learners.
Implications for teacher training and future research are discussed.
