Remixin' and Flowin' in Centros: Exploring the Biliteracy Practices of Black Language Speakers in an Elementary Two-Way Immersion Bilingual Program
Race, Ethnicity and Education, v25 n4 p585-605 2022
This paper draws on qualitative research that examines the biliteracy practices of Black Language (BL) speakers in an elementary, two-way immersion (TWI), dual-language bilingual program, using Raciolinguistics as a theoretical lens. Specific questions that guided the study addressed the features of communicative contexts where BL was utilized and the linguistic features of BL that were shared in these multilingual spaces from the students. Findings demonstrated that BL speakers exercised student agency often as they utilized BL in a variety of roles and contexts despite restrictive language policies. Implications for educators working with BL speakers in TWI programs are shared.
