Research paper thumbnail of Teachers’ beliefs concerning teaching multilingual learners:a cross-cultural comparison between the US and Germany

Results show that teachers from both samples, on average, strongly agree that a person's identity is connected to their language and culture. However, we found significant differences in scale mean values between US teachers and German teachers concerning their beliefs about (1) the interconnected nature of language with culture and identity, (2) language demand in content classrooms, (3) responsibility for language teaching, and (4) valuing multilingualism. Our results provide insight into cross-cultural differences between German and US teachers' beliefs, as well as a strong instrument in two languages to measure teachers' beliefs about multilingualism in schools.
