Cathy Wong, Ph.D., professor of TESOL and bilingual education, recently published “‘This is Valuable Professional Development for Me:’ Integrating the Multimodalities-Entextualization Cycle (MEC) in a Chinese DLBE Classroom Via Teacher-Researcher Collaboration,” in the journal Language, Culture, and Curriculum.
The article examines how a novice teacher integrated translanguaging within the MEC model to teach a science topic in a Chinese DLBE context. It additionally focuses on the dynamics of teacher-researcher collaboration and its impact on the planning process.
Wong co-authored the study with Michigan State University doctoral student Vashti Wai Yu Lee.
Language, Culture, and Curriculum seeks to enhance the understanding of the relations between the three dimensions of its title, while welcoming work involved with a wide range of languages in the context of bilingual and multilingual education and first, second, or additional language learning.
