Howard Maintaining Spanish Proficiency in the United States: The Influence of English on the Spanish Writing of Native Spanish Speakers in Two-Way Immersion Programs 77-88 (complete pdf) This study explores the English influence on the Spanish writing of native Spanish-speaking fifth-graders in two-way immersion programs in the United States. The writing samples of 55 native Spanish speakers enrolled in three different Spanish-dominant two-way immersion programs is analyzed and discussed. Using a coding scheme developed for this study, the authors investigate the ways in which English influences these students' narratives in terms of mechanics, lexicon and grammar. |
