Programs and Structures in Bilingual and Multilingual Education

Abstract

This chapter examines traditional ways of organizing bilingual education programs informed by monoglossic understandings of bilingualism. It provides examples of bilingual education programs that are informed by this traditional understanding of bilingualism. The chapter demonstrates both the counterhegemonic possibilities of these programs, as well as examines the ways that these programmatic structures may inadvertently marginalize the language practices of language-minoritized students. It discusses recent shifts in the field, informed by heteroglossic understandings of bilingualism that have begun to push scholars and policy makers to rethink the way that bilingual education programs are structured. The chapter provides examples of programs and practices informed by this heteroglossic perspective, and examines the potential of these programs to create societal change.
