    En años recientes se ha visto un incremento de profesores que tiene que afrontar la compleja tarea de impartir español a alumnos que lo tiene como lengua familiar. Para poder encontrar una metodología apropiada, es necesario tener en cuenta cuatro temas centrales: 1) la identidad social del bilingüe y las diferentes etiquetas que se usan en el mundo académico para identificarlos, 2) la amplia gama de niveles de competencia lingüística de los aprendices de español como lengua de herencia, 3) las habilidades de los aprendices en el español académico y 4) la medición de la competencia del bilingüe en general

    In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of instructors faced with the knotty task of teaching Spanish to Heritage speakers. In order to deliver the best teaching methodology, it is important to take into account four central issues:

    (1) the social identity of Heritage speakers and the use of labels in academia, (2) the wide range of language proficiency among Heritage language learners, (3) the «undeveloped» academic register of Heritage learners, and (4) the all-important measurement of bilingual skills
