“In writing, I simply do not distinguish between the sounds
‘When they act, they speak more
The objective of two-way language programs is to promote intergroup communicative competence and cultural awareness. The purpose of the study was to explore teachers’ strategies implemented to create a language-conducive classroom context. To address this purpose, we used triangulation of data sources: weekly classroom observations, video recording of teachers’ reflections during periodical formal meetings; and field notes. The findings indicated…
The role of play in creating a language-conducive context in a bilingual preschool
The current study was part of a large project focusing on bilingual development11 Broadly, a child’s bilingual development can be defined as growing up in a home or being engaged in an educational environment where two different languages are spoken or taught in the preschool classroom context. Its aim was to theorize free play as a social and language learning activity that provides opportunities for young learners to move towards second languag…
Toward a better understanding of the language conducive context
Van Lier’s [2004. The Ecology and Semiotics of Language Learning: A Sociocultural Perspective. Boston: Kluwer Academy] concept of ecology of language learning is applicable to our focus on children’s active engagement in bilingual preschool classroom activities, which are conducive to language learning. The aim of this study was to explore the nature of relationships between these activities and phases in L2 progress and to identify the activitie…
How do you say it in Arabic, in Hebrew, in English?’ Towards a better understanding of children’s agentic behaviour in novel language learning
The aim of this study was to explore patterns of children’s agency enactment in second-language learning as reflected in their language learning and social interactions in a bilingual Arabic–Hebrew-speaking classroom. We examined the connection between these behaviour patterns and the children’s L2 progress in the bilingual classroom. The study used purposive sampling to select five information-rich cases that were representative of the bilingual…
We are creating a reality’
This study was conducted within the context of bilingual Arabic-Hebrew medium preschools in Israel which were established to incorporate instruction in the native languages of both majority and minority children in the classroom. Bilingual education in various settings produces a wide variety of outcomes in terms of language proficiency, cultural awareness, and scholastic achievement. The purpose of the present study was to examine teacher agency…
Seeing isn't believing
Adults and children seem to essentialize certain social categories. Three studies investigated whether, and how, exposure to ethnic diversity affects this bias. Participants were 516 kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade Israeli Jewish and Arab children attending regular (mono-cultural) or integrated schools. Study 1 revealed that exposure increased the salience of ethnicity, especially for Jewish children. Study 2 showed no differences among gr…
