This theoretical article, with recommendations for practice, interrogates how the field discusses dual language bilingual education (DLBE) models in the United States, with international implications for bilingual, immersion, and content and language integrated learning contexts. We reconceptualize the equity problems and potentials of so-called…

Global student mobility and universities' commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion require shifts in teaching practices. This qualitative study in the United States Midwest context examines instructor learning in an innovative faculty development program consisting of (1) professional development sessions, (2) language and content-specialist…

This bibliometric review explores global research trends in bilingual education over the past four decades (1983-2023), using co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co-occurrence. An analysis of 1,716 articles indexed in the Web of Science identifies key topics, influential scholars, and emerging research frontiers. In the…

While it is widely accepted that language teachers require knowledge of second language acquisition (SLA) (Richards, 2010), what about content teachers, who are increasingly required to help develop their learners' academic language proficiency? How much do they need to know about SLA theories and how can they acquire such knowledge and expertise?…

In bilingual education, the integration of STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) with CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) establishes a dynamic learning environment wherein students concurrently develop scientific, technical, linguistic, and creative competencies. These methodologies cultivate essential…

In bilingual elementary classrooms where English is taught as a foreign language, science lessons often prioritize spoken interaction, while reading and writing receive less emphasis. This article explores how Cognitive Discourse Functions (CDFs)--such as defining, explaining, hypothesizing, and evaluating--can support disciplinary and…

The Multimodalities-Entextualization Cycle (MEC), proposed by Lin (2015, Conceptualizing the potential role of L1 in content and language integrated learning (CLIL). "Language, Culture and Curriculum," 28(1), 74-89), is a curriculum model designed for teachers to systematically incorporate translanguaging in lessons. Limited studies have…

Within the research on bilingual learning, first studies have revealed that content learned in one language is retrieved more slowly when participants have to switch language from instruction to testing (i.e., language-switching costs, LSC). These costs are attributed to language-dependent knowledge representations. However, the cognitive…

As a strategic initiative aimed to enhance English communication skills and bolster the global competitiveness of the general population, Taiwan's Bilingual 2030 Policy takes place at the intersection of neoliberalism, globalization, and the global spread of the English language. The neoliberal framing of Taiwan's language education policy has…

Background: While both Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) are widely recognised as effective methods to enhance bilingual education, their combination often leads to cognitive overload and fragmented learning experiences. In Taiwan's bilingual education context, where integrating English into…

Background: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a teaching methodology that integrates learning subject content with acquisition of proficiency in a foreign language (skills), developing both linguistic and conceptual competence. The approach aligns with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which…

This book gathers a collection of original contributions that chart emerging landscapes in 21st-century plurilingual education. The beating heart of the whole volume is bilingual and intercultural education, which has become a moral imperative for education systems worldwide. In an increasingly globalised world, citizens should ideally be equipped…

Despite the global adoption of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and extensive research on the effectiveness (product-oriented) and classroom interactions (process-oriented) of CLIL, existing studies have overlooked the motivational beliefs and metacognitive strategies of CLIL students. Hence, there is a need for a…

This systematic literature review examined 61 empirical studies published from 2010 to 2022 on translanguaging. The review explored the trends and scientific strengths of the studies, the reported pedagogical components, and the affordances and challenges of translanguaging. 70.49% of the studies took place in elementary schools and in 65.57% in…

Providing instruction in a student's home language through bilingual education has proven to be academically beneficial for multilingual learners (MLLs). The present study contributes to this literature by examining the possibilities and limits of a professional development program (Mathematics and Language Literacy Integration [MALLI] in Dual…
