Since the normalization of the Basque language in the 1980s, this minority and co-official language of the Basque Autonomous Community has been increasingly present in the academic sphere. Universities and other public institutions have made a significant effort to ensure that this language coexists with Spanish, the majority language, and English…

This study explores language ideologies within a multilingual tutoring program. We analyze the perspectives of multilingual university-students (n = 49) who were trained as tutors and paired with high school-aged multilingual learners. The program was designed to reduce educational inequalities by providing students with what we describe as…

This study examines the testimonios of Mexican language teachers who experienced the violent and institutional imposition of neoliberal policies at the main university at the state of Puebla.

This study explores the responsiveness of an elementary teacher's support for emergent bilingual students by examining the connections between the teacher's assessment expertise, formative assessment practices, and emergent bilinguals' unique language needs in math classes. The study, which investigated the indicators that characterize a…

Employing transnationalism and transnational literacies as theoretical perspectives, this study explores how two focal students from Asian immigrant families construct their transnational and transcultural identities by reflecting on their dynamic border-crossing experiences. The students' creation of artifacts (illustrating self-portraits and…

Multiple conceptualizations of sociocultural competence, coupled with the elevation of issues related to social justice and the promotion of equitable practices in DLBE programs has, unsurprisingly, raised urgent questions of practice for school leaders.

For multilingual English as an additional language learners (EALLs), listening is a critical skill that they must master. This quasi-experimental study examined if playback speed, overall English proficiency, and listening sub-scores affected the listening comprehension of EALLs. It also addressed if any of these effects were moderated by certain…

STEM preparation--especially high school math course-taking--is a key predictor of college entrance. Previous research suggests that high school English learners (ELs) not only take fewer advanced math courses but also enroll in college at much lower rates than non-ELs--a group that includes former ELs. In the present study, we alter the analytic…

An area of ongoing debate among bilingual scholars and practitioners is the extent to which instructional languages should be separated in dual language bilingual education (DLBE). This article contributes to and extends this effort by proposing critical translanguaging space as a conceptual lens to guide the design of translanguaging pedagogies…

Taking a multi-level perspective on language-in-public-space policy, this study investigates the way Tunisia's dominant languages are dealt with in three independent but interrelated activities of language policy: official texts, public talk, and the actual practices of business actors in five commercial districts in metropolitan Tunis.

This paper argues that descriptions of Sri Lankan English (SLE) are influenced by ideologies of linguistic racism and coloniality through an examination of the possible reasons for their neglect of Burgher English -- an underprivileged variety of SLE spoken by a minority community. Although descriptions of SLE identify different categories of the…

This article documents the spontaneous, implicit, and explicit ideological commentary -- what I have termed raciolinguistic metacommentary -- that 17 Latina/o bilingual teacher candidates (TCs) reported encountering in their everyday lives on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Analysis of data from a one-year critical ethnography shows that…
