The approach, Así se dice (That’s how you say it!), asks Spanish- and English-speaking bilingual students to discuss, interpret, and translate text-based passages collaboratively. This culturally and linguistically relevant process engages students in metalinguistic and metacultural analyses incorporating reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Findings indicate that through careful scaffolding and opportunities to debrief, teachers can implement and reflect on innovative instructional approaches that are rooted in pedagogies of biliteracy, explicitly develop metalinguistic awareness and create hybrid spaces to disrupt language separation in dual language classrooms. From teacher reflections and classroom observations, we learned that the choice of passage content and its length influences successful implementation. Further, it is critical that teachers have done the translation prior to the lesson. Participants universally expressed value for the strategy in terms of students’ language and literacy development, while also identifying the unique challenges it presented for them as educator","PeriodicalId":46530,"journal":{"name":"Bilingual Research Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"140 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43213728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using growth models and statewide data, this study describes the incoming English proficiency and subsequent English language growth of newcomer students, including the student, program, and school characteristics that are associated with differences in English language growth patterns among newcomers. The study further explores how newcomer students’ English proficiency levels and growth compare to those of their non-newcomer EL-classified peers. We find that, on average, newcomer students have low initial English proficiency levels but their English proficiency develops quickly. There is wide variation in newcomer English level and growth patterns, however, suggestive that schools play an important role in fostering growth. Finally, we find exploratory evidence that newcomers enter school at earlier stages of English proficiency compared to their non-newcomer peers, but grow faster, especially in their first two years.","PeriodicalId":46530,"journal":{"name":"Bilingual Research Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"180 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43650612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rosiak","doi":"10.1080/15235882.2022.2113478","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15235882.2022.2113478","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last decade, the majority of publications on Polish emigration have concentrated on the postaccession EU migrations, with particular emphasis on the UK and Ireland as evidenced by the extensive database of publications on Polish migration compiled by Prof. Anne White (University College London). In his monograph, however, Piotr Romanowski turns his attention to the lesserknown destination of Polish migrants, namely Greater Melbourne, which has the highest concentration of Polish immigrants in Australia. While there have been studies on the historical and sociological aspects of Polish migration to Australia over the last 50 years, only a few studies have attempted to investigate the role of the heritage language (HL) in the lives of Polish migrants in Australia (Dębski, 2009; Drozd, 2001; Leunert, 2007; Smolicz, Wozniak, Smolicz, Secombe, & Uszyńska, 1993). Family Language Policy in the Polish Diaspora: A Focus on Australia is an excellent study on the maintenance of Polish as a heritage language in mixed transnational families in the 21st century and a valuable contribution to the growing field of family language policy (FLP). It consists of an introduction, 10 thematic chapters, each subdivided into several sections, an extensive bibliography with over 600 entries, four appendices, and an index. In Chapter 1, the author provides an overview of the history of Polish migration to Australia within the context of Australia’s Immigration Policy over the last hundred years with an emphasis on Polish language and cultural maintenance. The author briefly discusses the two main waves of Polish migrants – the post-WWII and the so-called Solidarity migrants of the 1980s (i.e., political migrants whose primary impetus for emigration was the introduction of martial law, introduced on December 13, 1981, and abolished on July 22, 1983). He then went on to discuss the differences in attitudes toward integration in Australia between the two Polish waves of migrants. The final section of this chapter is an overview of previous studies on the maintenance of language and culture of Polish immigrant communities in Australia. The studies discussed provide evidence that the Polish language constitutes a vital part of the identity of the Polish diaspora. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a comprehensive overview of the theoretical aspects of the study presented in this monograph. In Chapter 2, the author deals with issues of bilingualism in children of immigrant families. The chapter begins with an overview of bilingual language acquisition and bilingual development in children, then goes on to discuss language socialization, and ends with a discussion on heritage language studies. Chapter 3 focuses on family language policy. The reader is not only provided with an overview of the history of this important field of studies but also introduced to such salient concepts as language management and language ideologies. Both chapters contain a thorough and readable discussi","PeriodicalId":46530,"journal":{"name":"Bilingual Research Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"262 - 264"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47920665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DLC is similar to a language repertoire but differs in that it is selective and only comprises the languages or language abilities most relevant to an individual or a group’s communicative functioning at a particular moment and in a specific situation (Bianco & Aronin, 2020). The DLC notion is solely interested in the active languages that stand out as being of primary importance and serving as the means of communication for that person’s everyday activities, businesses, careers, and self-expression (Aronin, 2016). As an analytical concept of multilingual studies, DLC has been used to study the impact of multilingualism in language education. Dominant Language Constellations Approach in Education and Language Acquisition, edited by Larissa Aronin and Eva Vetter, describes the use of DLC to investigate how multilingualism affects language education from multiple perspectives. This volume presents original research on language education policy and practice, focusing on current DLCinformed multilingualism in family settings and institutional domains such as teacher education, primary and secondary schools, and higher education. The edited volume starts with an introductory chapter by Joseph Lo Bianco, a leading scholar in research on the intersection of DLC, multilingualism, and language education. According to Bianco, DLC provides new theoretical approaches and analytical methodologies within a broad multilingual field of study. DLC emerged as an innovation in multilingual studies and the theory of problematizing one of the most enduring cultural and political heritages: the belief that human groups are naturally, or most effectively, described as monolingual. The pinnacle of monolingualism is imagined in standardized language literacy that typically conveys the national character of the groups that make up the nation, its history and destiny, canonical literature, and collective identity. According to Bianco, DLC gives a viewpoint on how languages are taught and the relationship between all the languages that students are exposed to outside the classroom. The DLC notion also enables educators and researchers to consider the many different ways that multilingualism affects education. For example, one benefit of DLC is that it clarifies how literacy instruction should be conducted in multilingual classrooms with students who may have literacy traditions that differ significantly from the required curriculum. After Bianco’s introductory chapter, the other ten chapters are divided into three parts. Part I, entitled “Dominant Language Constellations in Language Education Policy and School Practices,” comprises papers describing various DLCs in official and institutional settings, such as schools and language education policies.
