En stor del av undervisningstiden i norske naturfagklasserom går med til at elever lytter til læreren. Mange flerspråklige elever opplever det som utfordrende. I denne artikkelen utforskes en aktivitet som legger til rette for at mellomtrinnselever lytter, diskuterer, skriver og samarbeider om å rekonstruere en naturfaglig tekst. Aktiviteten er utformet etter inspirasjon fra en diktogloss-aktivitet og har som mål å bidra til å bygge en integrert fag-, språk- og tekstkompetanse. Støttestrukturene som er inkludert i aktiviteten, bidrar til at elever med ulik beherskelse av skolespråket kan delta i arbeidsformer der de aktivt bruker det naturfaglige språket. To typer skrevne elevtekster analyseres som bidrag til å besvare forskningsspørsmålet: Hvordan kan litterasitetsaktiviteten diktogloss bidra til å styrke flerspråklige elevers mulighet til aktiv deltakelse i naturfag? Analysen viser at de flerspråklige elevene som har deltatt i studien, oppfatter innholdet i den første delen av en tekst om kretsløp som blir lest opp for dem. Innholdet i siste del av teksten klarer de imidlertid ikke å rekonstruere. Likevel viser analysen at de på ulik vis har deltatt aktivt i sekvensen. Resultatene diskuteres i lys av modellen The Literacy Engagement Framework og teorier om bruk av språklige støttestrukturer for å styrke arbeidet med læring i fag.

Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) living with HIV experience challenges with retention in care, which negatively affects viral suppression. To address this, researchers piloted Bijou, a program designed to provide health education through electronically delivered behavior and risk reduction modules. Participants were 29 YMSM aged 19-24 living with HIV from the southeastern US. Participants completed pre, post, and 3-month follow-up (3MFU) surveys assessing knowledge, intervention acceptability, satisfaction, self-efficacy, ehealth literacy, and usability. Findings revealed significant improvement in knowledge and e-health literacy from pre-test to post-test but lost significance at 3MFU. Self-efficacy scores did not show significant differences from pre-test to post-test or 3MFU. Participants who completed all modules considered Bijou usable and acceptable; however, many did not complete the program. Findings suggest a need for adaptations to promote knowledge retention, e-health literacy, engagement over time, and research with a larger, more representative sample.

This article attempts to provide ESL teachers, school administrators, and policymakers with a concise overview of what matters in promoting academic success among learners of English in Canadian schools. We review research focused on bilingual and biliteracy development, the nature of academic language, and the roles of societal power relations and identity negotiation in determining the academic achievement of English language learners (ELL). On the basis of this research, we propose the Literacy Engagement framework that identifies literacy engagement as a major determinant of literacy achievement for ELL and non-ELL students. In order to enable ELL students to engage with literacy, the framework highlights the importance of teachers scaffolding meaning, connecting with students’ lives, affirming student identities, and extending their awareness and knowledge of language across the curriculum. The application of the framework is illustrated with reference to the literacy and academic learning experiences of two ELL students in the Toronto area.

<p>This professional development project, known as Literacy Leadership Project, enabled four Foundation Phase teachers in South Africa to implement the Guided Reading approach. Developed by American researchers Fountas and Pinnell (1996), Guided Reading helps elementary students strengthen their phonemic awareness, vocabulary, reading comprehension and fluency in small group activities. Over an 8-month period, lessons learnt came from data collected from this professional development included workshop activities, classroom observations, teachers’ group discussions and students’ artefacts. Results indicated improvement in students’ literacy engagement and motivation because of the use of levelled books, oral reading and group activities</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong>  Guided Reading programme; foundation phase; childhood literacy; teacher professional development; literacy leadership; South Africa</p>

This action research study provided a collaborative social space in which to examine the intersection of shared singing/reading, emergent literacy, and family literacy. In particular, the significance of home literacy engagement with song-based picture books was investigated through the core action of a non-deficit, school-based family literacy program. Data were collected via parent/guardian journals that documented intergenerational home literacy engagement over a two-month period. Findings revealed that shared singing/reading with song-based picture books provided rich opportunities for families to build joyful, literacy relationships while providing kindergarten-aged children with meaningful experiences with text.
