Abstract

ABSTRACT This article describes the conception, goals, design, and evaluation of a 3-week study abroad program in the Dominican Republic for preservice teachers at New York University to address cultural diversity in teacher education. Taking a critical approach to teacher education and drawing on four interrelated areas of research—second language acquisition, study abroad, culturally responsive pedagogy, and intercultural competence—the program sought to deepen teachers’ understanding of their students’ cultures, develop empathy toward language learning, and promote culturally responsive pedagogy. Program evaluation revealed that participants developed more critical understandings of the Dominican language, culture, and education system, which they could harness to practice culturally responsive pedagogy.

在多米尼加共和国留学：为21世纪课堂培养具有文化和语言反应能力的教师

摘要本文介绍了纽约大学在职教师在多米尼加共和国为期3周的留学计划的概念、目标、设计和评估，以解决教师教育中的文化多样性问题。该项目对教师教育采取了批判性的方法，并借鉴了四个相互关联的研究领域——第二语言习得、出国留学、文化反应教育学和跨文化能力——旨在加深教师对学生文化的理解，培养对语言学习的同理心，并促进文化反应教育法。项目评估显示，参与者对多明尼加语言、文化和教育系统有了更批判性的理解，他们可以利用这些理解来实践文化响应教育法。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
