Realization of a Language-As-Resource Orientation in Language Immersion Mathematics Classrooms
José Manuel Martínez
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (39th, Indianapolis, IN, Oct 5-8, 2017)
Researchers have argued for an orientation to language as a resource that values bilingualism in mathematics classrooms. However, little is known about what mathematics teachers can do to translate a language-as-resource orientation into productive classroom practice. In this study, I analyze video data from two language immersion classrooms to understand pedagogies that are possible in contexts where bilingualism is seen as a resource. I argue that teachers' purposefully devised discursive practices used students' languages in ways that enhanced mathematical learning opportunities. I provide examples from the classrooms and discuss implications for research in bilingual classrooms where a language-as-problem orientation dominates. [For complete proceedings, see ED581294.]
