As the "land of opportunity" and arguably the greatest country in the world, the United States continues to change--culturally, racially, and linguistically.

Tran, Van Anh – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2022

Beneville, Margaret A.; Li, Chieh – Journal for Multicultural Education, 2018
Purpose: There is a notable dearth of interventions that have been specifically designed for Asian English Language Learner (ELL) students, and the existing research on ELL students often lacks population validity and sample diversity. In response to this need, this paper aims to review current research on literacy interventions for East/Southeast…

Han, Keonghee Tao; Scull, W. Reed – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2012
English learners (ELs) from Confucian heritage culture (CHC) are often perceived to be reserved and conforming to the authority of the classroom. But a careful look at struggles between a CHC student and the mainstream teacher reveals that the teacher's views and pedagogical approaches shape academic and social hierarchy in the classroom.…

Lan, Shu-Wen; de Oliveira, Luciana C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
Recent science-education reforms have targeted students' ability to 'talk science', especially in science classrooms.

The…

Based on limited data, "the counter-balance hypothesis" was proposed by Lyster and Mori (2006) to explain distributions of teacher feedback and students' uptakes in…
