Abstract	This Three Article Dissertation investigates the phenomenon of Spanish language attrition and explores Spanish language teachers' perspectives and pedagogical practices that influence the language instruction needed to meet the linguistic needs of many Hispanic students learning Spanish as their heritage language. Article I, Heritage Language Learners and Spanish Language Education: A Literature Review, provides an extensive overview highlighting the affective and contextual factors experienced by both teachers and students in teaching and learning Spanish as a heritage language. The conceptual framework of Latino/Latina Critical Race Theory (LatCrit) shaped the literature review and directed the research study by identifying influential factors that affect Hispanic students learning Spanish as a heritage language. Article II, Secondary Spanish Teachers' Perspectives and Pedagogical Practices with Heritage Language Learners, explores the perspectives and pedagogical practices of secondary Spanish language instructors who teach Spanish to heritage language learners in traditional Spanish language classes. This qualitative case study uses the Portraiture methodology. Article III, Spanish for Life: A Training Resource for Language Educators, is a training tool for Spanish language teachers who instruct Spanish heritage language students in traditional Spanish language classes. The purpose of the Spanish for Life training session, which includes a PowerPoint presentation and training guides, is to provide a training workshop that introduces Spanish language learning activities that are easy to use in various learning environments and with a variety of Spanish language learners.
