Abstract

Considering the steadily increasing number of multilingual students, it is essential for teachers to consider their students’ multilingualism in school. While there is increasing research done regarding how teachers incorporate multilingualism in class, little is known what aspects predict teachers’ multilingual classroom practices. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine several potential predictors of teachers’ multilingual classroom practices. The analytic sample consisted of N = 494 German primary school teachers. Applying path analyses, we found that teachers’ multilingualism-related beliefs and multilingualism-related self-efficacy correlated with their multilingual classroom practices directly. Furthermore, many indirect effects of demographic and sociocultural characteristics on teachers’ multilingual classroom practices through their multilingualism-related beliefs and multilingualism-related self-efficacy were found. Implications and limitations are discussed.

德国小学教师多语课堂实践的预测因素

考虑到使用多种语言的学生人数稳步增长，教师有必要考虑学生在学校使用多种语言的情况。虽然有关教师如何在课堂上使用多语种的研究越来越多，但对教师多语课堂实践的预测因素却知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在探讨教师多语课堂实践的几个潜在预测因素。分析样本包括 N = 494 名德国小学教师。通过路径分析，我们发现教师的多语言相关信念和多语言相关自我效能感与其多语言课堂实践直接相关。此外，我们还发现人口和社会文化特征通过教师的多语言相关信念和多语言相关自我效能感对教师的多语言课堂实践产生了许多间接影响。本文还讨论了研究的意义和局限性。
