Abstract

ABSTRACT Current research on cross-language transfer has focused primarily on literacy development. The present study extends the scope of existing research by focusing on argumentative reasoning, an important but under-research academic skill. A single-case study with a reversal design was conducted with four Chinese-English elementary students with the well-established Collaborative Reasoning (CR) discussion model. Data included transcripts of the lessons and discussions, surveys, and interviews. Cross- language transfer of argumentative reasoning was observed at the lexical, syntactic, and discourse levels and varied with factors identified in previous research on biliteracy development. Theoretical and methodological contributions of the study are discussed.

跨语言迁移:论证推理习得个案研究

目前关于跨语言迁移的研究主要集中在读写能力的发展上。本研究扩展了现有研究的范围，专注于论证推理，这是一项重要但研究不足的学术技能。本研究以四名中英小学生为研究对象，采用逆向设计进行个案研究。数据包括课程、讨论、调查和访谈的文字记录。论证推理的跨语言迁移是在词汇、句法和话语层面上观察到的，并且随着先前在双语发展研究中确定的因素而变化。讨论了本研究在理论和方法上的贡献。
