Culturally Sustaining Instruction for Arabic-Speaking English Learners
Louie, Belinda; Sierschynski, Jarek
Reading Teacher, v74 n2 p159-167 Sep-Oct 2020
Arabic is the second most common home language of English learners in the United States. Educators seek to design culturally sustaining pedagogy to develop Arabic-speaking English learners' English skills while nourishing their heritage language and affirming their culture's values. The authors report on a series of interviews with three Arabic mothers on their perceptions of North American and Arabic award-winning picture books and their experience of reading with their children. Based on the analysis of the interviews, the authors put forward five culturally sustaining pedagogical possibilities.
