The findings indicate that VR technologies reduce anxiety levels while enhancing motivation, performance, satisfaction, and self-efficacy in language learning when compared to traditional learning methods.

To this end, this study seeks to understand if and how the syntactic complexity of written texts produced by middle school Spanish immersion students differs across grades. It examines discipline-related, persuasive texts written by 186 Grade 6–8 Spanish immersion students from five programs, analyzing syntactic complexity at the phrasal, clausal, and supraclausal levels and considering both length-based and subordination measures. Findings suggest that syntactic complexity does not change significantly in middle school for immersion students unlike findings with nonimmersion students.

Considering that <i>geographic</i>, <i>economic</i>, and <i>integration</i> factors contribute to whether a school can provide FL at all—and biased counseling dissuades minoritized students from taking FL—this study asks: <i>has FL education been equitably accessible to all Louisiana high school students who want to pursue it, regardless of race or economic background?</i> To address this question, this paper presents results from two analyses. First, program-internal equity variables (e.g., [dis]similarity between school-wide and FL student demographics) were clustered to produce “profiles” of FL programs. Next, a multinomial logistic regression using program-external factors (e.g., federal funding status, desegregation orders) was conducted to isolate the factors impacting equity. Federal funding and rurality were both found to be significant, with schools receiving federal Title I funds and rural schools being much more likely to exhibit inequitable access to FL courses. In (a) identifying schools with enrollment inequities and (b) the outside factors associated with greater inequity, this paper aims to provide policymakers with empirically based tools to address (in)equity in Louisiana high school FL education.
