<p>Current trends have seen a decline in student enrollment, as well as a shortage in foreign language instructors, creating the need to rethink language programs. Therefore, this article advocates for the creation and development of heritage language (HL) programs focused on meeting the linguistic and cultural needs of Latinx (and Hispanic) local communities to contribute to language maintenance, and the emergence of courses for specific purposes that may attract students with a clear professional goal. Language programs should reflect the mission of the program and the university to recruit students, as well as on the clear benefits on a professional and personal level of learning a second language (L2) or a HL, while providing opportunities for continuous professional development for instructors.</p>

<p>Literary critics to date read Américo Paredes’s modernist novel <em>George Washington Gómez </em>(1990) as the story of a failed male hero following the demise of the 1915 Seditionist Rebellion. The problem with such analyses is that they misread the novel’s modernism, its women characters, and peculiar linguistic dimensions. This essay argues for an updated role of women characters as a leadership collective vital to struggling against borderlands colonization. Ultimately, the novel’s women leaders foreground multilingual interpretive frameworks as the precursors necessary to anticolonial action. To support this claim, the essay performs an original context-based translation. At stake in the translation is demonstrating how habits of reading create shareable knowledge that in turn deepens the methods of intellectual popular resistance.</p>

<p>How languages are used in public spaces (our linguistic landscape) influences how individuals feel about those languages and by default the speakers of those languages. These thoughts, perceptions, beliefs, etc. are known as language ideologies and language ideologies are some of the greatest influences and predictors of how people are positioned, treated, valued, and given or not given opportunities for power and success in a community. Fort Worth, Texas, is the 13^th largest city by population in the United States and at 35%, Hispanic or Latine individuals make up the second largest ethnicity in the city. And although Spanish is frequently heard in many parts of Fort Worth and found on private shop signs in historically Mexican-American neighborhoods, the explicit and very public display of written Spanish in the linguistic landscape (e.g., billboards) of Fort Worth is not representative in number of the percentage of Latine individuals nor is it thematically balanced with the themes found on English billboards. Using the geomapping app Lingscape we have discovered a surprising and potentially influential pattern of primarily using the Spanish language on Fort Worth billboards to advertise for alcohol companies. We argue that this sends a clear (albeit unconscious), unspoken message of the place, value, and role of Spanish in Fort Worth. We worry about the impact this might have on how Spanish-speaking and Hispanic/Latine youth are viewed in schools, potentially leading to negative stereotypes and more problematic representations of these students.</p>

<p>Nuestro principal objetivo en este ensayo es promover el uso del translingüismo como una alternativa para la formación de profesorado bilingüe en universidades mexicanas. Defendemos esta postura no simplemente por las ventajas pedagógicas del translingüismo, sino como una imperiosa necesidad ante la multiculturalidad y transnacionalismo de los futuros docentes de lengua inglesa en México. En otras palabras, en este ensayo promovemos el uso de translanguaging as a reaction towards the reproduction of systemic oppression which occurs in many English Language Teaching programs in Mexican universities regarding nativism, raciolinguistics, and irreflective neoliberalism.&nbsp;</p>
