baseline data

basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS)

  • The first stage of the course of language development for English language learners/emergent bilinguals as explained by Cummins (1981). It is followed by cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP). This formulation was very helpful in alerting educators to the possibility that second language learners who sounded fluent might still struggle with many language tasks. Nonetheless, it was widely unrecognized that the BICS–CALP sequence is neither universal nor inevitable.

bias

  • Tendency toward a particular ideology, result, or preference. When applied to tests, it implies that the test systematically favors or disfavors a particular group of students on a particular criterion not considered relevant for outcomes, such as race or gender. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong
  • In testing, refers to the unfair advantages or disadvantages that may be given to certain students that can affect their performance. For example, a test given in English will be biased in favor of proficient English speakers and biased against students who lack proficiency in English.

biculturalism

  • The presence of two originally distinct cultures in some form of co-existence. A policy recognizing, fostering, or encouraging biculturalism typically emerges in countries that have emerged from a history of national or ethnic conflict in which neither side has gained complete victory.

bilingual education

  • Providing educational content in two languages. Bilingual education can take many forms, but all of these are planned educational programs that use two languages for instructional purposes. All U.S. bilingual programs aim for eventual high English-proficiency and academic-achievement levels as important goals (some bilingual programs have additional goals). The different types of bilingual education programs usually are defined by their goals and the balance of teaching time between English and the non-English language. Compare to developmental bilingual education (DBE) program and dual language programs. Young Dual Language Learners by Karen N. Nemeth

Bilingual Education Act

bilingual immersion programs

  • For language minority students who are English dominant and native English speakers who desire to become bilingual. Students are initially instructed 90–100 percent in the non-English target language for the first two years of the program. Instruction evens out gradually to 50 percent instruction in English and 50 percent in the non-English language as students move up in grade level.

bilingualism/multilingualism

  • The ability to understand and use two (or more) languages in particular contexts and for particular purposes. Bilinguals can have the same levels of proficiency in both languages (e.g., advanced in both) or different levels of proficiency (e.g., advanced in one and beginning or intermediate in the other). Bilinguals do not necessarily have the same level of proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in the languages they know. Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell
  • The state of being able to use two or more languages. When used informally, this term may be applied to someone who easily speaks and understands two languages very well. In school settings, the term “bilingual” often has more clearly specified criteria. Knowing and using more than two languages is called multilingualism. Young Dual Language Learners by Karen N. Nemeth

bilinguality

  • The ability to speak two languages fluently.

biliterate reading

  • The process used to make sense of texts in two languages. It involves using a reservoir of bilingual competencies, strategies, and knowledge in interaction and collaboration with others to comprehend texts. In Literacy Squared, biliterate reading instruction in K–5 bilingual classrooms includes interactive and explicit teaching of a variety of reading skills and strategies, including: foundational reading skills (e.g., concepts of print, decoding, fluency), reading comprehension skills (e.g., describe main ideas or major events in a text and central lesson, including key supporting details; distinguish elements and structure of literary and informational texts), comprehension strategies (e.g., activate prior knowledge, make predictions, make personal and intertextual connections, cognate study), and reading of a range of text types of grade-level appropriate complexity. Children are taught how to apply these skills and strategies across languages and to see similarities and language specific differences.
