Preservice Teachers' Conflicting Ideologies About Language Education
Sat, April 10, 2:30 to 4:00pm EDT (2:30 to 4:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Second Language Research Paper and Symposium SessionsAbstract
This paper presents a case study using mixed-methods research to investigate the language ideologies of preservice teachers (PSTs) regarding language education. Participants were 323 PSTs enrolled in a teacher preparation program in the US Midwest. Data sources included a language survey, written reflections, and oral interviews via Zoom. Quantitative data analysis included 40 statistical tests conducted with the SPSS software. Qualitative data analysis encompassed open coding and several rounds of focused coding, verified with the QDA computer software. The results of the study indicated that there were six major language ideologies, toward which the PSTs oriented either positively or negatively. The results also demonstrated that different demographic and experiential variables influenced PSTs’ language ideologies.
