This article sheds light on the types of individual agency displayed by bi/multilingual adolescents with Spanish as their heritage language in a complementary school founded by parents with Latin American roots in the canton of Bern (Switzerland). Based on the assumption that identities are contextual, relational and partial (Bucholz and Hall 2005), this exploratory study analyzes how pupils, using their agency, position themselves in relation to Spanish as a heritage language in class. The study shows the importance of taking contextual factors into account in the analysis of the forms of agency that can occur in the context of institutionalized heritage language learning. It also contributes to studies of language policies that include the attitudes and agencies of adolescents in order to understand the complexities of language maintenance and change processes in times of transnationalism and globalization
