"Identity investment is key to understanding how two-way immersion (TWI) programs function on the local level. Potowski demonstrates that when students invest in their identities as Spanish speakers (regardless of their ethnic or linguistic background), they are more likely to develop expertise in Spanish. Educators who understand this fundamental sociolinguistic notion can find creative ways to actively counter student resistance to Spanish at school."
