Catherine Lemmi; Greses Pérez – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
In a phenomenon known as translanguaging, multilingual learners draw freely from their repertoires without regard for language boundaries. Although multilingual learners live their lives between languages in their communities, science education is just beginning to acknowledge the important role of their hybrid language practices for learning.…

Jie Zhang; Zhenjie Hou; Lana Kharabi-Yamato; Stephen Winton; Azizah Curry Iluore; Grace Lee; Huan Zhang; Rosa Nam – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Upper elementary grade students encounter increasingly complex texts with abundant morphologically complex words. Despite the positive effects of morphology-based vocabulary instruction, emergent bilinguals with limited word reading skills may need additional support. Methods: This study investigated the effects of morphological…

Klauda, Susan Lutz; Taboada Barber, Ana; McAllen, Elizabeth B. – Reading Psychology, 2020
Employing a mixed methods approach, this study examined the reading motivations of dual language learners (DLLs) in Grades 3-5 in a suburban Title I school in which the student population was predominantly Hispanic. Twenty-one students completed self-report surveys and participated in interviews focused on two intrinsic motivations (involvement…

Vernucci, Santiago; Aydmune, Yesica; Andrés, María Laura; Burin, Débora Inés; Canet-Juric, Lorena – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
The present study analyzed the joint predictive role of verbal working memory (WM), verbal short-term memory (STM), fluid intelligence, and intelligence mindset in reading comprehension, controlling for prior reading comprehension performance, in typically developing Spanish-speaking school-aged children. A sample of 83 children aged 9-10 years…

Salmerón, Cori – Bilingual Research Journal, 2022
While scholars across a range of disciplines challenge the idea that bi/multilinguals have separate linguistic repertoires, monolingual expectations are common in bilingual education. Using elements of case study design and discourse analysis, I explore translanguaging as both a dynamic linguistic practice and a linguistically sustaining pedagogy…

La Serna, Jillian – Foreign Language Annals, 2022
This paper draws from a broader research project and reports on literacy program supports and instructional strategies in two-way immersion (TWI) classrooms (Grades 3-5) where the partner language is Spanish. The study examined TWI classrooms in which students from multiple demographics were performing at or above the state average on reading…

Jennifer Altavilla; Paula Elosua; Guillermo Solano-Flores – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
We examined the influence of language and socioeconomic factors on academic achievement in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC): a multilingual society with a recent history of language revitalisation. We analysed scores obtained by Grade 4 and Grade 10 students on a diagnostic mathematics test administered in either Basque or Spanish in the BAC.…

Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette; Hwang, Jin Kyoung; Oh, Min Hyun; Pokowitz, Elena Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Elementary-age dual language learners (DLLs) from Spanish-speaking homes in the United States are often characterized as at risk for low vocabulary in both Spanish and English. This longitudinal study examined conceptually scored receptive and expressive vocabulary development among DLLs from Spanish-speaking, low-income homes and…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Klauda, Susan Lutz; Wang, Weimeng – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
Socioemotional constructs have been receiving increased attention as contributors to individuals' literacy development. However, in comparison with positive socioemotional constructs, negative socioemotional constructs have been understudied with respect to their role in reading achievement in both emergent bilinguals (EBs) and English…

Lázaro, Miguel; Acha, Joana; de la Rosa, Saray; García, Seila; Sainz, Javier – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
This study was designed to examine the developmental course of the suffix frequency effect and its role in the development of automatic morpho-lexical access. In Spanish, a highly transparent language from an orthographic point of view, this effect has been shown to be facilitative in adults, but the evidence with children is still inconclusive. A…

Doris Ann Villarreal – Bilingual Research Journal, 2024
This qualitative case study examines how one bilingual teacher draws on their critical consciousness to support immigrant students and their families. Drawing on the construct of conscientization, I argue praxis is the embodiment of critical consciousness through acts of responsiveness and actions educators enact to rewrite unjust spaces and…

Relyea, Jackie Eunjung; Amendum, Steven J. – Child Development, 2020
This study examined the extent to which kindergarten Spanish reading affected English reading growth trajectories through fourth grade among nationally representative Spanish-speaking bilingual students (N = 312) in the United States and whether the association varied by students' English oral proficiency. Multilevel growth curve analyses revealed…

Lisa M. Domke; María A. Cerrato; Elizabeth H. Sanders; Michael Vo – Language and Education, 2025
Because word problems present mathematical information through a scenario, they are language-intensive and require mathematical and reading comprehension skills to solve them. In addition, they are linguistically complex, which makes them challenging for all learners, especially multilingual learners. Given the rising number of dual-language…

Angela Johnson – Teachers College Record, 2024
Background or Context: Dual language education aims to foster the development of bilingualism, biliteracy, sociocultural competence, and academic skills in all school subjects. Early correlational research suggests that participation in dual language education is associated with higher achievement. Recent studies leveraged more comprehensive sets…

Martínez Hinestroza, José; Peña-Pincheira, Romina S.; Adams Corral, Melissa – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Previous research on bilingual mathematics education has proposed that as children "language mathematics" they use multiple sources of meaning. In this paper, we focus on lexical inventions--bilingual children's made up words that are not formally defined or used but follow the phonology and morphology of a language--as a source of…
