Jean-Baptiste M. B. Sanfo; Keiichi Ogawa – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2024
The language used as a medium of instruction (MOI) has implications for learning outcomes. In most African classrooms, an international language is solely or dominantly used as an MOI. There is a debate about how this practice is associated with students' learning outcomes. This study uses Zambian PISA for Development 2018 data and school fixed…

Arsaythamby Veloo; S. Kanageswari Suppiah Shanmugam; Suheysen Revindran – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2024
Purpose: The language load within mathematics test items can lead to inaccuracy in assessing "Orang Asli" pupils' mathematical ability due to their struggle in comprehending the academic language. This study aims to determine the validity of using test accommodations in the form of oral academic language and oral native language when…

Sara Salloum; Rayya Younes; Maya Antoun – Research in Science Education, 2025
In Lebanon, science is taught in an international language (French or English) based on a language-in-education policy rooted in Lebanon's colonial history. Given the intersection among social/socioeconomic class, educational equity, and science performance, learning science in a language other than one's own raises concerns around…

Eylül Turan; Bert De Smedt – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
A growing body of research suggests that children's understanding of mathematical language is critical for their mathematical abilities. Most of this work has been restricted to single language learners (i.e., SLLs), and used dual language learners (i.e., DLLs) as an exclusion criterion, raising questions about the generalizability of these…

Chan Lü; Amy E. Pace; Liu Liu – Educational Linguistics, 2023
Inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. G. R. Tucker and colleagues on French Immersion in Canada, later known as the St. Lambert experiment (Lambert & Tucker, "Journal of Educational Psychology," 65(2), 141-159, 1972), language immersion education also proliferated in the United States in the last decades. Research in the U.S.…

Veloo, Arsaythamby; Shanmugam, S. Kanageswari Suppiah; Md-Ali, Ruzlan; Jusoh @ Yusoff, Yus'aiman; Awang-Hashim, Rosna – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
The purpose of this study is to investigate Indigenous pupils' achievement in Mathematics with Bilingual (Bahasa Melayu and Temiar) versions of mathematics tests. Both tests were based on Mathematics computation and word problem items. This study involved eight Orang Asli (Indigenous) primary students from eight schools in the district of Sungai…

Morita-Mullaney, Trish; Renn, Jennifer; Chiu, Ming Ming – International Multilingual Research Journal, 2021
In this study, we used a quasi-experimental, longitudinal design to examine the English language arts (ELA) and mathematics test scores of emergent bilinguals (EBs) in DLBE 50:50 models versus English as a second language (ESL) models in Indiana over four academic school years. With a focus on the midwestern U.S., we bring attention to a…

Tamar Kricheli-Katz; Tali Regev – npj Science of Learning, 2021
Research suggests that gendered languages are associated with gender inequality. However, as languages are embedded in cultures, evidence for causal effects are harder to provide. We contribute to this ongoing debate by exploring the relationship between gendered languages and the gender gap in mathematics achievements. We provide evidence for…

Neugebauer, Philipp; Prediger, Susanne – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The quality of curriculum resources and teaching practices can constrain or promote students' opportunities for mathematics learning, in particular, students with diverse language proficiency. The video study investigates 18 classes that all used the same curriculum resources aimed at developing 367 seventh graders' conceptual understanding of…

Esther J. Calzada; Lalaine Sevillano; Keng-Yen Huang; R. Gabriela Barajas-Gonzalez – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2025
The present study examined Latinx school readiness and 3rd grade student achievement, considering differences based on social categories of gender, race, ethnicity, and home language. The sample included 683 racially diverse children (M[subscript age] = 4.94; SD = 0.57) of Dominican- or Mexican-origin from Spanish-English or Spanish-only…

Anita Chatterjee – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The main purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between students' social-emotional learning (SEL), as demonstrated by the competencies of grit, growth mindset, and self-management, and students' academic achievement, measured by their proficiency in reading, language usage, and mathematics. This study also sought to compare the…

Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Li, Jui-Teng; Van Horn, M. Lee; Petcu, Stefania D.; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2021
This meta-analysis synthesized research on math performance outcomes for English learners (EL) as a function of language-focused (math vocabulary) interventions. We included group and single-subject design studies with children from kindergarten to 8th grade (3,766 students for group, 30 for single-subject). Group studies yielded a mean Hedges' g…

Zachary Himmelsbach; Heather C. Hill; Jing Liu; Dorottya Demszky – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2023
This study provides the first large-scale quantitative exploration of mathematical language use in U.S. classrooms. Our approach employs natural language processing techniques to describe variation in the use of mathematical language in 1,657 fourth and fifth grade lessons by teachers and students in 317 classrooms in four districts over three…

Prediger, Susanne; Erath, Kirstin; Weinert, Henrike; Quabeck, Kim – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
Empirical evidence exists that enhancing students' language can promote the mathematics learning of multilingual students at risk, whereas other target groups (e.g., monolingual students, successful students, both with diverse academic language proficiency) have hardly been considered. This cluster-randomized controlled trial (N = 589)…

Jimena Cosso; Giancarlo Visconti; Alexa Ellis; David Purpura – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: Gaps between dual language learners (DLLs) and monolingual English-speaking children have been reported at kindergarten entry, and many DLL children are classified as long-term English learners, having less access to the general curriculum in the upper grades (NASEM, 2017). The supposed underperformance of DLLs might be due to the…
