Knowledge Building with Low Proficiency English Language Learners: Facilitating Metalinguistic Awareness and Scientific Understanding in Parallel
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
Two studies were conducted to explore theoretical, pedagogical, and technological issues for advancing language/literacy and scientific understanding in parallel in knowledge building communities. Findings from the initial analysis of student change over 5-years indicated a possible cumulative gap between lexically, orthographically, and conceptually high and low achieving students. A pilot study was conducted subsequently with two Japanese children (grade 4 and 7), both having limited English language proficiency. The goal was to explore the possibility of deepening language and subject knowledge through pedagogical and technological supports. The two children wrote in English in Knowledge Forum®, technology designed to support Knowledge Building, with support from translator and specially designed dictionary. Results revealed student use of translators as a “theory-testing tool,” enabling them to experiment with Japanese and English versions of their ideas and texts. The study informed design possibilities for future work to advance linguistic and subject matter understanding in parallel. ; M.A.
