Li, Jui-Teng; Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Swanson, H. Lee – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
We explored the role of three math instructional practices by teachers (explicit instruction, guided practice, peer interaction) in predicting current Spanish and English reading comprehension and later Spanish and English math problem-solving performance of English learners (ELs). In this study, math was taught in Spanish. We had 26 teachers and…

Sato, Masatoshi – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
This classroom-based study explored language mindsets in the context of communicative interaction between L2 learners. Amid the increasing research on mindsets in the L2 field, two issues warrant further research to improve our understanding of how mindsets affect L2 learning. First, research has largely been product-oriented and mindsets' impacts…
