Promoting and Assessing Sociocultural Competence in Dual Language Bilingual Education Programs
Sat, April 13, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 6Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session will bring together dual language bilingual education (DLBE) scholars representing a variety of methodologies to share their research on promoting and assessing sociocultural competence, the elusive third goal of DLBE. Responding to calls in the field for more work in this area (Authors, 2014), the session presents a series of empirical papers that explore push and pull factors that support and inhibit teachers’ enactment of sociocultural competence in the classroom, teacher-generated activities to foster sociocultural competence among DLBE students, a new approach for assessing DLBE students’ sociocultural competence, and a review of the literature on DLBE students’ sociocultural competence outcomes. In the context of DLBE, dismantling racial injustice and constructing educational possibilities are largely intertwined with sociocultural competence.
