Abstract

The Seal of Biliteracy (SoBL) is a language education policy adopted by states to recognize students’ biliteracy. Originally implemented in high schools to recognize graduating seniors, the initiative also includes pathway awards, which can be implemented in earlier grades to promote lengthier language study and increase biliteracy attainment. This qualitative case study investigates the K-12 implementation of SoBL and pathway recognitions in the urban-intensive context of the Chicago Public Schools. Drawing from documentation and interviews with district- and school-level stakeholders, this research uncovers the nuanced policy work to promote, assess, and recognize biliteracy in a district with 322,000 students.

通往两文之路：调查芝加哥中小学两文印章的实施情况

双语印章（SoBL）是各州为表彰学生的双语能力而采取的一项语言教育政策。这项举措最初在高中实施，以表彰即将毕业的高年级学生，但也包括路径奖，可在低年级实施，以促进更长时间的语言学习，提高学生的两文素养。本定性案例研究调查了芝加哥公立学校在城市密集区的 K-12 阶段实施 "双语学习计划 "和 "双语学习途径奖 "的情况。本研究利用文献资料以及对学区和学校利益相关者的访谈，揭示了在一个拥有 322,000 名学生的学区中，为促进、评估和认可双语能力而开展的细致入微的政策工作。
