Integration as Perpetuation: Learning From Race Evasive Approaches to ESL Program Reform.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, most Latinx emergent bilingual (EB) students are educated in English-medium programs alongside English-dominant peers. Legally mandated social integration of EB students coincides with a prescriptive linguistic emphasis on content-language integration in ESL (English as a second language) programs; both integrative approaches are particularly salient in the current hyperracial climate in the United States.

Focus of study

We explore two schools' responses to Latinx EB population growth via the intersecting racial and language ideologies informing and influenced by programmatic changes, educator perceptions, and pedagogical practices.

Research design

This qualitative multiple case study spans two Texas schools selected by purposeful maximal samplin
