identity

independent reading

independent writing

intersentential code-switching

imagined community

  • Term used by Benedict Anderson to indicate that national identities are constructed phenomena. In the absence of daily contact with eachs, individuals have to imagine the other members of the community, who they are, what they do, how they think. These assumptions about cultural and linguistic practices, values, beliefs become part of who is considered part of the community. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

integration

interactive read aloud

  • A reading approach in which the teacher reads aloud for children,

thus modeling the reading process and comprehension strategies. In Literacy Squared, this also includes directing students’ attention to cross-language connections. An essential feature of this approach is active student engagement in conversations about the text in order to support both literacy skills and oral language development.

interdependence hypothesis

intergenerational language transmission

internal structure of a language

  • The natural way a language is organized. Literacy instruction that matches the internal structure of the language is characterized by the use of strategies that support literacy development in that language, such as studying vowels first in Spanish and consonants first in English.
