AbstractSince most heritage learners do not find their interests reflected in today's language curricula and since our student body is becoming increasingly diverse, we propose a prototype for conceptualizing various types of authentic German-American texts at various levels of linguistic competency. This concept is not only pedagogically sound, but the introduction of various expressions of the German- American immigrant experience to the language classrooms might partially address and rectify a very real challenge to our profession: the dwindling enrollments in language and literature courses.
