This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principals today are expected to lead and create a learning environment that is conducive for all learners. Many educational leaders, however, lack the minimum foundational skills necessary regarding second language acquisition to be able to implement the appropriate bilingual program that will allow English Language Learners (ELLs) to learn English at a level comparable to their native English speaking peers (Brookings Institution & Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, 2012). A plethora of research literature exists regarding positive and negative aspects of bilingual programs. The intent of this study was to provide guidance to elementary school leaders when implementing a bilingual program at their school campus. In this quantitative study, reading results from the current state-mandated assessment, the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR), were analyzed to compare 30 transitional early exit program elementary schools with 30 dual language one-way program elementary schools in two Texas large urban school districts. Also analyzed were the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) Reading scores between early exit program elementary schools with dual language one-way program elementary schools across the State of Texas. Data were requested and obtained from the Texas Education Agency Public Education Information Management System for the 2013-2014 and the 2014-2015 school years for Grade 3 students. Statistical analyses on the STAAR Reading test scores yielded mixed results. In the 2013-2014 school year, ELLs had better STAAR Reading test scores in the early exit transitional program than in the one-way bilingual education program; however, higher percentages of English Language Learners in the one-way dual language program met the performance standards. In the 2014-2015 school year, the STAAR Reading test scores and performance standard percentages were higher for ELLs in the one-way bilingual education program. Results on the TELPAS exam were consistent for both school years in that ELLs who were enrolled in an early exit transitional bilingual education program had higher TELPAS ratings and higher TELPAS scores than their counterparts who were enrolled in a one-way dual language bilingual education program. Based upon the results of the STAAR and the TELPAS statistical analyses, information is provided to school leaders regarding a comparison of ELL student performance in transitional early exit programs with dual language one-way bilingual education programs.

Download or read book Research Anthology on Bilingual and Multilingual Education written by Management Association, Information Resources and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 1656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the boost in global immigration and migration, as well as the emphasis on creating inclusive classrooms, research is turning to the challenges that teachers face with the increasing need for bilingual and multilingual education. The benefits of bilingual education are widespread, allowing students to develop important cognitive skills such as critical thinking and problem solving as well as opening further career opportunities later in life. However, very few resources are available for the successful practice and implementation of this education into the curriculum, with an even greater lack of appropriate cultural representation in the classroom. Thus, it is essential for educators to remain knowledgeable on the emerging strategies and procedures available for making bilingual and multilingual education successful. The Research Anthology on Bilingual and Multilingual Education is a comprehensive reference source on bilingual and multilingual education that offers the latest insights on education strategy and considerations on the language learners themselves. This research anthology features a diverse collection of authors, offering valuable global perspectives on multilingual education. Covering topics such as gamification, learning processes, and teaching models, this anthology serves as an essential resource for professors, teachers, pre-service teachers, faculty of K-12 and higher education, government officials, policymakers, researchers, and academicians with an interest in key strategy and understanding of bilingual and multilingual education.
Download or read book Dual Language Education Teaching and Leading in Two Languages written by David E. DeMatthews and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of dual language education for Latina/o English language learners (ELLs) in the United States, with a particular focus on the state of Texas and the U.S.-Mexico border. The book is broken into three parts. Part I examines how Latina/o ELLs have been historically underserved in public schools and how this has contributed to numerous educational inequities. Part II examines bilingualism, biliteracy, and dual language education as an effective model for addressing the inequities identified in Part I. Part III examines research on dual language education in a large urban school district, a high-performing elementary school that serves a high proportion of ELLs along the Texas-Mexico border, and best practices for principals and teachers. This volume explores the potential and realities of dual language education from a historical and social justice lens. Most importantly, the book shows how successful programs and schools need to address and align many related aspects in order to best serve emergent bilingual Latino/as: from preparing teachers and administrators, to understanding assessment and the impacts of financial inequities on bilingual learners.

Chapter authors, who are themselves both researchers and practitioners, explore the latest research and policy implications for implementation of dual language in three different contexts; within a school, a dual language school and a dual language district. This book will be of interest to teachers, teacher educators, professional development specialists, policymakers, administrators, and researchers.
Download or read book A Comparison of Dual Language and Bilingual Programs written by Audrey Figueroa Murphy and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research compared the outcomes of Dual Language and Traditional Bilingual approaches on the acquisition of English, and the development of first language literacy for second language learners. The design used a two-way mixed factor analysis of variance, with groups (Dual Language and Transitional Bilingual) as the between subjects factor, and time of testing (pretest and posttest) as the within-subjects factor. The dependent variables included student performance on the ECLAS (an English proficiency assessment) and on EL SOL (a Spanish proficiency assessment. A one-way comparison between groups using scores from the NYSESLAT exam was conducted along with a descriptive analysis of NYSESLAT scores. Results of the study revealed an increase in language acquisition and oral literacy skills in English for both groups. The findings also indicated there was growth in most domains of native language oral and literacy skills. The outcomes further suggested that the Dual Language approach was more effective than Transitional Bilingual Education in the attainment of English proficiency for second language learners.
Download or read book Becoming Biliterate written by Bertha Perez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-10-03 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the development process and dynamics of change in the course of implementing a two-way bilingual immersion education program in two school communities. The focus is on the language and literacy learning of elementary-school students and on how it is influenced by parents, teachers, and policymakers. Pérez provides rich, highly detailed descriptions, both quantitative and qualitative, of the change process at the two schools involved, including student language and achievement data for five years of program implementation that were used to test the basic two-way bilingual theory, the specific school interventions, and the particular classroom instructional practices. The contribution of Becoming Biliterate: A Study of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Education is to provide a comprehensive description of contextual and instructional factors that might help or hinder the attainment of successful literacy and student outcomes in both languages. The study has broad theoretical, policy, and practical instructional relevance for the many other U.S. school districts with large student populations of non-native speakers of English. This volume is highly relevant for researchers, teacher educators, and graduate students in bilingual and ESL education, language policy, linguistics, and language education, and as a text for master's- and doctoral-level classes in these areas.
Download or read book Student Reading Achievement in Dual Language and Transitional Bilingual Programs written by Valerie Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With increasing demands imposed by state standards for students to show proficiency at high levels in reading and writing, instruction for the English language learner is critical. Dual language programs address English proficiency through instruction that first helps the ELL become proficient in a native language while simultaneously teaching English. Leaders responsible for supporting instructional programs that best achieve this goal will find it imperative to understand how and if dual language programs can be effective. This study examined three years of 5th grade reading TAKS results between the years 2009-2011 to compare the performance of students in a dual language program to students in a transitional bilingual program. Results showed that dual language students performed better than those in the transitional program. The study aimed to provide leaders with data to continue dialogue about how to improve the performance of a critical demographic group in schools today.
Download or read book Dual Language Bilingual Education written by Kathryn I. Henderson and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of the teacher in dual language bilingual education (DLBE) implementation in a time of nationwide program expansion, in large part due to new and unprecedented top-down initiatives at state and district level. The book provides case studies of DLBE teachers who: (a) implemented the DLBE model with fidelity; (b) struggled to implement the DLBE model; and (c) adapted the DLBE model to meet the needs of their local classroom context. The book demonstrates the way teachers as language policymakers navigate and interpret district-wide DLBE implementation and the tensions that surface through this process. The research, conducted over four years using a variety of methods, highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers implementing DLBE, and will be of interest to both teachers and administrators of DLBE programs as well as scholars working in bilingual education.

Download or read book xito Para Todos written by Danitra Edmond Arredondo and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-way dual language immersion programs have expanded over the past few decades. An increasing number of districts, schools, and communities are embracing the prospective academic outcomes of language education programs, resulting in bilingualism, biliteracy, and biculturalism for both English-dominant and language-minority students (Izquierdo, 2011). Effective language education programs are characterized as programs that successfully promote academic achievement and other academic outcomes for all learners (Howard et al., 2018). Numerous studies and research findings on two-way dual language emphasize and highlight the successful outcomes of emergent bilingual students who participate in dual language education programs and the components that elevate student outcomes for this population of language learners (Howard & Sugarman, 2007; Howard, Sugarman, & Christian, 2003; Lindholm-Leary, 2001, 2005, 2012, Thomas & Collier, 1997, 2009, 2012, 2014). However, there are a limited of studies that specifically look at the participation of Black students in dual language education. Implementation of two-way dual language immersion programs leads students to bilingualism, biliteracy, and overall improved academic proficiency; therefore, it is critical for the field to understand the factors that define exemplary dual language program implementation while closely examining the educational outcomes for Black students that participate in language education programs. This study examined the effectiveness of dual language program implementation and reading achievement outcomes for Black students who participate in dual language programs. With a mixed methods research approach, this study investigated the implementation of elementary and middle school dual language programs in an urban district in southeast Texas. The study utilized interviews, documents, and existing student achievement data. The epistemological origin of this study was grounded in subjectivism, found within the philosophy of interpretivism, as meaning is created from something applied to the object by another source (Crotty, 1998). Process theory (Mawell, 2013) influenced the interpretation of the data and findings. The findings indicated that participation in dual language programs can help to improve the academic outcomes of Black students when well-implemented according to the program model. With the growing attention of schools and districts implementing dual language programs, there are significant implications for scientific research to investigate and thoroughly understand how the implementation of these models impacts the academic outcomes of Black students

Download or read book Learning in Two Languages written by Gary Imhoff and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After being off the public agenda for a decade, the subject of bilingual education is once again at the center of public debate. Assumptions about the values of cultural pluralism and the rise of the "unmeltable ethnics" so dominant for the last twenty years have met a renewed public affirmation of the value of assimilation. In the United States "bilingual education" refers to programs that emphasize students' home languages and culture; teach academic subject matter in students' home languages; and introduce English into the curriculum at a deliberate pace. Students in such programs are generally members of immigrant groups and racial and ethnic minorities, and they usually come from lower-class economic backgrounds. Over the years, a number of different objectives have been advanced for bilingual education programs. In the 1960s and early 1970s, educators believed that these programs should be evaluated by students' linguistic proficiency and progress on standardized tests. More recently, advocates have promoted more subjective measures, such as students' enhanced sense of well-being and self-esteem. And yet others argue that the real goals of bilingual education should be social change and economic redistribution, and that programs should be evaluated by these long-range goals. The conference that gave rise to the essays in this volume was the first national symposium at which advocates and critics of bilingual education confronted each other's arguments face-to-face. These essays address the objectives by which bilingual education should be evaluated; the administrative practices by which programs are run; and the latest research findings on the effectiveness of bilingual education. Authors include Henry Trueba, Rudolph Troike, James Banks, Joshua Fishman, and Christine Rossell. "Learning in Two Languages "will interest educators and policy researchers, students of ethnic relations, and others concerned about the future direction of U.S. educational policies in this controversial area.
