Abstract

This study investigated how students learning English and students learning Spanish activated multilingual repertoires as they participated in one high school program that aimed to promote reciprocal learning and teaching of multilingual literacy practices. Grounded in sociocultural theory, we examined how students drew upon Spanish, English, and translanguaging as cultural and cognitive tools to mediate learning in a Third Space. Data collection included participant observations in 40 sessions, student writing, interviews, and audio/video recordings of peer interactions as they engaged in composing and revising of text together. Using interactional ethnography and microgenetic analysis, we analyzed mediation of learning opportunities across and between languages and found evidence of students co-constructing knowledge and expanding multilingual repertoires. Findings contribute to second language acquisition research by revealing fluid and reciprocal affordances for language learning during interactions among linguistically diverse peers as they draw upon translanguaging practices. By shedding light on an alternative educational context that mobilizes young people’s diverse funds of knowledge, the findings have implications for educational practices that support equity for culturally and linguistically diverse students.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
