Abstract

The study reported in this article investigated the design and implementation of a flexible bilingual mathematics assessment that allows for translanguaging whenever needed, to help the mathematics knowledge of emergent bilingual students emerge. The assessment included 10 mathematics items, six selected-response and four constructed-response items, which were enhanced with dual language supports such as seeing and listening to the items, writing or saying a response, and showing synonyms for certain words, all in English, Spanish, or any combination of both languages. These supports allow test takers to draw on their entire linguistic repertoire and their full range of linguistic practices to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in mathematics. Ten emergent bilingual students participated in cognitive interviews designed to collect data on usability and perception of the usefulness of the dual language supports. It was found that students were able to use the available supports strategically whenever needed, used their entire linguistic repertoire to complete the items, and had a positive perception of the supports.

探索用译语法测量新兴双语学生的数学知识

本文研究了灵活的双语数学评估的设计和实施，该评估允许在需要时进行语言转换，以帮助新兴双语学生的数学知识出现。评估包括10个数学题，6个选择题和4个构造题，这些题都得到了双语支持的加强，比如看和听题，写或说回答，以及显示某些单词的同义词，所有这些都是英语、西班牙语或两种语言的任何组合。这些支持允许考生利用他们的整个语言曲目和他们的全方位的语言实践来展示他们的知识和技能在数学。10名新兴双语学生参加了认知访谈，旨在收集关于双语支持的可用性和有用性的感知数据。研究发现，学生能够在需要的时候策略性地使用可用的支持，使用他们的全部语言技能来完成项目，并对支持有积极的感知。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
