Kaisa Hahl; Konsta Lehtovuori; Maija Pietarila – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2025
A compulsory foreign language in Finland starts now in Grade 1 instead of Grade 3. The change has forced teachers to adopt new teaching methods.

Scott E. Grapin; Marisleydi Ramos Borrego; Vijay Gallardo Navarro – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Research on translanguaging in science and engineering education has grown rapidly. Studies carried out across diverse contexts converge in their commitment to fostering equity in science and engineering learning for linguistically marginalized learners. However, the rapid growth of this research area has exposed different approaches to…

Yachao Sun – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Translingual pedagogies have been proposed and implemented to respond to the increasing linguistic and cultural diversity in today's classrooms. However, the findings of translingual pedagogies on English as an additional language (EAL) writing vary from facilitating to undermining teaching and learning. To understand the empirical landscape of…

Chinese immersion programs have been increasingly popular in US schools. However, we have insufficient data on young English-speaking children's acquisition of Chinese as a second language in these programs, and specifically on social contextual variables systematically promoting or hindering Chinese language use. Taking a variationist…

In this study, we used loop input (process and content aligned) in two languages that…

Four kindergarten teachers (two in each program)…
