Nine partner languages, one path: Minority language reading proficiency development among German two-way immersion students
Background
At the State Europe School of Berlin (SESB) students with different language backgrounds learn together in two languages of instruction: German and one of nine partner languages (English, French, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish).
Aims
This study investigates the reading proficiency trajectories in the minority or partner language among students in a two-way immersion (TWI) program.
Sample
Participants were 977 TWI students.
Methods
The study included longitudinal large-scale assessments in Grades 4 to 6. Latent growth curve models were utilized for analysis.
Results
The analyses revealed significant progress in partner language reading skills across all language combinations. However, notable differences in initial proficiency levels and developmental trajectories were observed between partner languages, even after controlling for background variables such as socioeconomic status and cognitive abilities. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that students' initial German reading proficiency positively influenced their reading proficiency in the partner language.
Conclusions
Overall, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of the TWI program in promoting partner language proficiency development in TWI programs, particularly within the unique context of a diverse linguistic environment. This research provides valuable insights into how students develop reading skills in a multilingual environment.
