ABSTRACT Students’ attitudes in first-grade dual language immersion (DLI) classes were compared with those of similar students in mainstream English classes. Results for the sample of 81 Latinx students indicated that for attitudes toward activities in Spanish, including reading and speaking in public and with relatives, both ELLs and non-ELLs in DLI had more positive attitudes, often at statistically significant levels and with strong effect sizes. Program placement predicted student attitude on some variables even with parent and demographic variables factored out. There were also significant advantages for DLI on measures of multiculturalism. The findings indicated that attitudinal differences previously found for students at higher grades in DLI can emerge by the end of the first grade. The study also compared responses from parent questionnaires for the two programs and found significant differences, with more Spanish spoken at home and more interest in Spanish reading among DLI parents.

比较一年级双语沉浸与主流英语学生的态度

摘要 将一年级双语浸入式 (DLI) 班学生的态度与主流英语班的同类学生进行了比较。81 名拉丁裔学生样本的结果表明，对于西班牙语活动的态度，包括在公共场合和与亲戚的阅读和演讲，DLI 中的 ELL 和非 ELL 都具有更积极的态度，通常处于统计显着的水平并且具有很强的影响大小. 即使将父母和人口统计变量排除在外，课程安排也能预测学生对某些变量的态度。DLI 在多元文化测量方面也有显着优势。调查结果表明，以前在 DLI 中高年级学生的态度差异可能会在一年级结束时出现。
