Hi!  My name is Emily Howard and I am a senoir at Upper Arlington High
School in Columbus, Ohio.  I am currently doing a project on bilingual
education and heritage languages, comparing the United States to
Guatemala.  I was hoping you would know of some excellent resourses
about this topic that I could look into.  My focus is on the importance
of HLE in the classroom, and creating awarness of the situation.  I am
also preparing to leave for Guatemala where I will be teaching in a
school in Solola (with an accent on the last syllable!).  Right now the
situation is Guatemala is similar to what we face in the US, in that the
assumption is everyone speaks Spanish like everyone assumes English is
the best language to teach in here.  If you have any suggestions as I
continue my research I would really appriciate it!!!

Many Thanks,
~Emily
