Dictatorships, revolutions, economic crises, and recessions in developing Latin American states in addition to proximity and opportunity can begin to account for the tremendous rise in Latinos across the fifty states. As a result, the United States is now the second largest Spanish speaking country in the world after Mexico with 46.9 million speakers according to the 2010 National Abstract of Statistics (“Table 10,” 2008). In the US, the term Spanish speaking includes native Spanish speakers, bilingual speakers, and Hispanic heritage speakers. This work investigates how the growth of the Latino population and the increasing number of Spanish speakers in the US has affected Spanish foreign language enrollments and offerings in the United States since 1950 and the extent to which the national trends and impacts are reflected in a local school system and community. 2010-06-12 English text Marietta College Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1273590376 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1273590376 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
