Abstract

Contextualizing course materials is a fundamental step in integrating inclusive and appropriate methods of assessment into a post-secondary introductory-level Spanish as a Heritage Language course. The author discusses why a portfolio project is an appropriate assessment choice in the heritage language classroom. While the focus of the chapter is the implementation of contextualized input through a portfolio project, other methods of assessments, along with changes to syllabi, are discussed. The chapter outlines a contextualized assessment implementation in the form of a portfolio project in a post-secondary heritage language course.
