Aims: We investigate the relationship between narrative macrostructure, current language exposure, and microstructure in second-grade Spanish-English bilingual children in the United States. Macrostructure knowledge has been claimed to be shared across languages in multilingual individuals. We examine the role of current language exposure and…

For many Spanish speakers, Spanglish is perceived as a bastardized form of Spanish that does not count as "real" Spanish. This view rests on the assumption that there is a "real" Spanish, which operates by a set of grammatical, lexical and morphological rules such that when bilingual speakers mix into these rules elements that…

Basque is one of the official languages spoken in the Basque Country and although it is usually considered the minoritised language, its situation might be different in rural areas. The presence of Basque and Spanish has been previously reported in urban areas [Cenoz, J., & Gorter, D. (2006). Linguistic landscape and minority languages.…

Despite a rapid growth in the number of dual language learning children (DLLs) in the United States, there is a limited understanding of what parents of DLLs believe and know about dual language learning and education, and how parental beliefs and knowledge relate to children's dual language experiences at home. In the current study, 225 parents…

Background or Context: Although many scholars have evaluated how Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) "serve" and can better "serve" Latinx students and their communities, scant research has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) technology within this evaluation of diversity and "servingness." With institutions of…

Gender-inclusive language serves to recognize women and people with non-binary gender identities as part of the primary group, and it has been seen in various languages, including Arabic (Berger 2019), English (Berger 2019; Mathews 1995), Hebrew (Berger 2019), Portuguese (Secretaria de Comunicação 2021), Spanish (Berger 2019; Guzmán Stein 2004),…

As bilingual scholarship increasingly examines who counts in bilingual education, we join the conversation by exploring how two DLBE teachers' languaging is often marginalized, even in bilingual education contexts. In this comparative case study, we draw from the testimonios of two differently racialized DLBE teachers (one of Mexican and one…

Evidence syntheses, such as systematic reviews, aim to summarise the current state of research in a field, often using the publication language of a study as a criterion for inclusion or exclusion. However, this has serious implications for capturing evidence from a wider range of geographical areas, and the potential for linguistic bias. In order…

Decades of research have demonstrated that parenting programs are effective at changing parent behaviors and subsequently preventing myriad child outcomes including anxiety, depression, substance use, and HIV infection. However, most research into preventive parenting interventions in the United States has been conducted with English-speaking…

Purpose: In the current study, we examined the alignment of language choice of bilingual parent-child dyads in play-based interactions. Method: Forty-four bilingual Spanish-English parent-child dyads participated in a 10-min naturalistic free-play interaction to determine whether bilingual children and their parents respond to each other in the…

This study examines the characteristics of research papers published by Mexican mathematics educators from 2012 to 2021, focusing on the influence of global and local forces on academic production. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's concepts, we view mathematics education research as a socio-ideological language, where each paper functions as an…

This study was part of a larger three-year investigation of the effectiveness of a small-group, content-focused (science, social studies) preschool shared book reading vocabulary intervention implemented with Spanish-speaking emergent bilinguals enrolled in a one-way dual-language bilingual program. A subset of bilingual preschool teachers (N =…

Purpose: To understand the ways in which autistic Latinx children experience disparities in diagnosis, healthcare, and receipt of specialty services. Methods: 417 individuals who identified as Latinx caregivers of autistic children who were members of the same integrated healthcare system in Northern California were surveyed. Responses were…

School attendance and engagement were crucial to students' academic success and well-being before the pandemic but were severely disrupted when schools closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study examines the research question: What do linguistically diverse caregivers perceive as multilevel facilitators and barriers to school…

Because of authentic exposure, study-abroad sojourners are expected to become more proficient in terms of holistic formulaicity (defined as targetlike language use of intensifiers, fillers, multiword sequences, lexical features, verb-argument constructions, pragmatic and discourse features, and so on), use of formulaic sequences, and lexical…
