• Practitioners' perspectives and experiences of supporting bilingual pupils on the autism spectrum in two linguistically different educational settings (2020) · doi

  Future research should focus on finding effective ways to identify and support learning needs among bilingual pupils to ensure that children who are ‘doubly different’ from their peers not only have access to educational provision, but also have opportunities to harness and celebrate their differences.

• Culturally Responsive Pedagogies in Arizona and Latino Students’ Achievement (2016) · doi

  Thus, even though teacher-reported beliefs and behaviors regarding the role of Spanish in instruction were related to students’ outcomes, future studies are needed that examine the extent to which bilingual endorsement, which exceeds most programmatic requirements regarding diversity, might provide teachers with the necessary knowledge (i.

• REVIEW OF (CRITICAL) LITERATURE ABOUT BILINGUALISM (2023) · doi

  
 This work provides an overview of the basic conclusions from theoretical and empirical studies on the topic of bilingualism, through a review of research in which attention is drawn to the traditionally neglected or insufficiently explored extralinguistic factors and their influence on the development or obstruction of bilingualism.

• The construction of bilingual abilities through monoglossic literacy assessments (2021) · doi

  Through this analysis we show how, in this context, bilingual abilities were defined through multiple, flawed layers of language policies and decision-making – from school leaders with limited knowledge of bilingualism, to frustrated teacher-leaders with differing opinions, to stressed teachers who have no choice but to carry out the decisions made by others – so that children in the end are categorised and assessed in ways that do not show their bilingual knowledge.

• Questioning Patterns and Language Proficiency in Bilingual Students (1987) · doi

  It is suggested that further study of the use of different speech acts, in relation to relative language proficiency and within a sociolinguistic framework, will enhance the design of holistic models toward describing language behavior of bilingual children across settings and situations.
