Abstract
Contextualizing course materials is a fundamental step in integrating inclusive and appropriate methods of assessment into a post-secondary introductory-level Spanish as a Heritage Language course. The author discusses why a portfolio project is an appropriate assessment choice in the heritage language classroom.
