My Service Learning
I have completed my service-learning at Monterey Peninsula College. It is located at Freemont Street in Monterey, California. MPC is an open public community college that encourages student learning and achievement within its diverse community.
I did my Service Learning with Heritage Language Students. Heritage language is defined in terms of a student's upbringing and functional proficiency in the language: a student raised in a home where a non-majority language is spoken is a heritage speaker of that language if she/he possesses some proficiency in it.
During my 30 hours of voluntary service I have observed that heritage language students need a lot of support to improve their written language, so I began to investigate what methods inheritance language experts recommend to overcome this writing problem.
