“Bring that rural world, even in digital form, to the urban”
Chilean schools with at least 20% Indigenous students integrate recognized traditional educators from those communities to teach their ancestral language and culture. This study explores the experiences of these educators in urban settings as they implement pertinent digital resources for teaching Mapuzungun, the language of the Mapuche people, Chile’s largest Indigenous community. The project involved creating digital resources for traditional M…
Pre-Service Teachers’ Knowledge to Promote Equity with a Gender Perspective
This study examines how pre-service teachers construct pedagogical knowledge to promote equity in school settings through reflection and research from an intersectional gender perspective. Situated within current debates on gender, interculturality, and social justice in teacher education, the study explores how pre-service teachers develop critical awareness of inequality and envision transformative practices. Using a qualitative design, three r…
Taking stock of youth and adult educational policies in Chile and Peru in a changing landscape
This article explores the framing of youth and adult education (YAE) policies in two Latin American countries, namely Chile and Peru. It takes their participation in PIAAC as a contextual starting point to unravel the problems explicitly or implicitly framed in YAE policies and their root causes, as understood by key policy stakeholders. We found that policy documents specifically addressing YAE are not only scarce, but also the existing ones ten…

Reading in Multiple Orthographies
The current study unites multiple theories (i.e., the orthographic depth hypothesis and linguistic grain size theory, the simple view of reading, and the common underlying proficiency model) to explore differences in how 113 fourth-grade Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs) approached reading in their native language of Spanish, which is transparent, compared to their second language of English, which is more opaque. Contributions of different…
Language of Instruction as a Moderator for Transfer of Reading Comprehension Skills Among Spanish-Speaking English Language Learners
This three-year longitudinal study investigated the role of language of instruction in moderating the relationships between initial levels of English oral language proficiency and Spanish reading comprehension and growth in English reading comprehension. The study followed Spanish-speaking English language learners in English-only literacy instruction, an early-exit bilingual program, or a late-exit bilingual program, from third through fifth gra…
The role of home literacy and language environment on bilinguals' English and Spanish vocabulary development
For the monolingual population, research has shown that vocabulary knowledge is closely related to reading achievement. However, the role of vocabulary has not been studied as extensively in the bilingual population. It is important to look at vocabulary to better understand reading achievement in the bilingual population in the United States. This study investigated the predictors of Spanish and English vocabulary for 96 fifth-grade Latino Engli…
