Book cover
Garrity, Aquino-Sterling, & Day Reprinted Article (2017) on Translanguaging.

Translanguaging can be understood from multiple perspectives. From a sociolinguistic point of view, it describes the flexible language practices of bilingual communities. From a pedagogical one, it describes strategic and complementary approaches to teaching and learning through which teachers build bridges between the everyday language practices of bilinguals and the language practices and performances desired in formal school settings.

“Translanguaging in an Infant Classroom: Using Multiple Languages to Make Meaning,” originally published by Sarah Garrity (Child & Family Development), Cristian Aquino-Sterling (School of Teacher Education), & Ashley Day (Child & Family Development) in a recent issue of the International Multilingual Research Journal, has been reprinted in Prof. Mileidis Gort (University of Colorado), 2017, The Complex and Dynamic Language Practices of Emergent Bilinguals, a powerful and comprehensive volume that explores the pedagogical possibilities and challenges of translanguaging practice and pedagogy across a variety of U.S. educational programs that serve language-minoritized, emergent bilingual children and illustrates the affordances of dynamic, multilingual learning contexts in expanding emergent bilingual children’s linguistic repertoires and supporting their participation in formalized, school-based language performances that socialize them into the discourses of schooling.

Taken together, the chapters in this volume examine the dynamic interactions and complex language ideologies of bilinguals―including pre/in-service teachers, preK-12 students, and other members of multilingual and multidialectal sociolinguistic communities throughout the United States―as they language fluidly and flexibly and challenge the marginalization of these normative bilingual practices in academic settings and beyond.

Description:

Given the well-established relationship between teacher beliefs and practices, the purpose of this exploratory study was to use survey techniques to explore the beliefs about bilingualism, bilingual education, and dual language development of university students who attended public school in a Proposition 227 context. Findings indicated that despite favorable views on bilingualism and bilingual education and knowledge of dual language development, beliefs about the role of the native language in the school environment continued to reflect the hegemony and deficit-thinking embodied by Proposition 227.

Description:

This qualitative case study used Senge’s model of learning organizations to describe how one center transitioned to the implementation of continuity of care and overcome obstacles commonly associated with this practice.  Data analysis highlighted operational processes that contributed to the center’s success, and findings were situated within the current discourse on how the field can ensure that practices supported by theory and research are implemented in programs serving young children and their families.

Description:

The article discusses the issues of undermatch and summer melt of immigrant, first-generation, high-school students who find themselves not able to attend the colleges of their choice.

Laura Owen, PhD

Assistant Professor



Description:

The summer melt and academic mismatch literatures have focused largely on college-ready, low-income students. Yet, a broader population of students may also benefit from additional support in formulating and realizing their college plans. We investigate the impact of a unique high school-university partnership to support college-intending students to follow through on their college plans.

Description:

School counselor preparation necessitates that new counselors are trained to build a comprehensive school counseling program, which means understanding how to use data to develop, implement, and evaluate their interventions. In spite of their school counseling  training, first-year school counselors may feel unprepared to use data and lack the experiential accountability skills and advocacy resources to impact systemic student outcomes. This article describes an action research training model for prospective school counselors.
