The Bilingual Education Project: Ethnographic Perspectives on Long Term Research Partnerships
Session Information
The Bilingual Education Project (BEP) seeks to examine bilingual education in a large northeastern city. Based on research done as a team, the presentations will present findings from an ongoing longitudinal ethnographic study conducted in an elementary school dual language program. BEP ultimately "slice[s] the onion [of language planning and policy] ethnographically" (Hornberger & Johnson, 2007, p. 509), with the goal of developing frameworks that will promote and value bilingual education programs. This panel will focus on the partnerships that emerge in a long term project, namely in becoming a researcher, working with teachers, and working with school leaders.
