@misc { , title = {Open Educational Resources in Heritage and L2 Spanish Classrooms: Design, Development and Implementation}, abstract = {In this chapter, we examine the application of the multiliteracies pedagogy Learning by Design (Cope \& Kalantzis, 2015; Kalantzis et al., 2005, 2016) to the design of open educational resources (OER) for the teaching of Spanish as a heritage (HL) and second language (L2). We first discuss the tenets of the framework, and the reasons why it is appropriate to guide the development of OER materials. We then compare two differing instructional initiatives. The first focuses on HL learners at a Hispanic-serving institution, and the second one, on L2 students at a basic language pro-gram at an R1 institution. Based on these two experiences, we address issues related to the design and development of materials such as the following: (1) the identification of students’ needs (considering personal and institutional expectations and outcomes); (2) the development of materials (the determination of thematic and linguistic content); and (3) the imple-mentation process at both institutions. Finally, we summarize the institutional and pedagogical factors that characterized both experiences.}, doi = {10.21832/9781800411005-003}, isbn = {9781800411005}, pages = {25-46}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/8848727}, year = {2024}, author = {Zapata, Gabriela C. and Ribota, Alessandra} editor = {Blyth, Carl S. and Thoms, Joshua J.} }
