  1. Primary Language Matters: Is There a Link Between Bilingual Education and English Language Learners’ Academic Achievement? Nury Rodriguez Education 7202: Seminar in Applied Theory and Research II Fall 2010

  2. Method • Participants: • 20 first grade students at P.S. X in Brooklyn, New York. • Students are Hispanic. • Two groups of students will be involved. • Parents of participating students. • Teachers and administration.

  3. Table of Contents • Research Design • Threats to Internal Validity • Threats to External Validity • Proposed Data • Proposed Data Analysis • References

  4. Research Design Quasi Experimental:Nonequivalent Control Group Design Two groups: Designated treatment group (X1) and control group (X2) are pretested, exposed to a treatment (X), and posttested (O). Symbolic Design: O X1 O O X2 O Groups are not randomly assigned.

  5. Threats to Internal Validity • History • Maturation • Testing – Pretest Sensitization • Instrumentation • Mortality • Statistical Regression • Differential Selection of Subjects • Selection-Maturation Interaction

  6. Threats to External Validity • Ecological Validity • Generalizable Conditions • Pretest • Selection • Specificity of Variables • Multiple Treatments • Treatment Diffusion • Experimenter Effects • Reactive Arrangements/Participants Effects

  7. Pretest & Posttest • Two Groups • Primary Language Assessment • Reading Assessments • Pretest Developmental Reading Assessment • Posttest Developmental Reading Assessment

  8. Proposed Data Reading Comprehension Pretest and Posttest

  9. Proposed Quantitative Data Correlation between parents’ primary language attitudes and reading assessment. Likert Scale Survey Question #4: Is it important for your child to learn and maintain his/her native language?

  10. Proposed Data Analysis • The chart shows that there is possibly a positive correlation between primary language attitudes and academic performance. The coefficient is 0.799414 rxy. The high X scores are paired with the high Y scores. The coordinates are close to the trend line of best fit, and it is fair.  • Therefore, if attitudes and support of parents concerning the use of the primary language are positive, students reading comprehension scores are high.
