When discussing a student's relationship with language, their cultural identity comes on display. “They view the connection between identity and language as ‘an intimate and mutually constitutive relation’, especially since language has important symbolic value and plays a crucial role in establishing one’s place and role in society” [1]. These students’ understanding and relationship with language may vary greatly between your own experience with language, even if you identify as a heritage speaker of the language. Heritage language speakers have to negotiate and determine their own identities within our society especially since they have a knowledge of the power relations and social distributions of their language within society [1]. Teachers need to consider their students’ linguistic identity as also connected to a large number of societal categories including, social status, ethnicity, nationality, and cultural heritage [1]. This can cause challenges within the student’s personal experiences navigating the world. Teachers providing adequate support based on their relationships with the students is a solution to guiding through challenges.
