What we study
Dr. Pascual y Cabo studies bilingualism and Spanish heritage speakers: people who grew up speaking or hearing Spanish in the United States. His work looks at how they acquire language, how beliefs about 'good' Spanish affect them, and how to teach heritage speakers without asking them to leave their language and identity behind.
