Abstract

The current study is focused on the perceptions of university second language (L2) learners on having heritage speakers (HS) in the same Spanish language courses. Although some students confessed feelings of intimidation or fear, overall there was a positive attitude towards the benefits of mixed classrooms for L2 learners such as the improvement of their listening and cultural skills and the real immersion scenario. Considering students’ comments, there are some recommendations for implementation in mixed classrooms.
