Students' Attitudinal Development in a Dual Language Bilingual Education Program from Grade 1 to Grade 5
Bilingual Research Journal, v45 n3-4 p337-357 2023
Measures of 31 Latinx students' attitudes in a Grade 5 Spanish dual language bilingual education (DLBE) program were compared with those of the same students four years prior. Twenty-one mainstream English students comprised a comparison group for the same time period. Some statistically significant changes occurred for students in DLBE related to loss of enthusiasm toward Spanish, but this loss was attenuated for ELLs; similar changes occurred for mainstream English students, with a few exceptions. Measures related to multiculturalism "increased" marginally for students in both programs. Implications are discussed regarding equitable spaces to nurture the sociocultural competence of bilingual students.
