ABSTRACT

This study explores experiences of 50 culturally and linguistically diverse African immigrant students attending public urban middle and high schools in the US. Drawing on in-depth interviews, and through constant comparison analysis, emerging findings highlight pedagogical, linguistic, and curricular variation struggles in the classroom; transitional contextual challenges; cultural mismatch; miscommunication, and stereotypes. In light of these experiences, African immigrant urban youth draw on familial, navigational and aspirational capital to resist stereotypical assumptions and to develop resilient skills necessary to navigate the inherent challenges. Findings underscore the importance of appreciating ways of knowing that deviate from the host country knowledges as instrumental to meeting the instructional needs of African immigrant students in United States schools.

移民青年的文化和语言经验:非洲移民青年在美国城市学校的声音

摘要

这项研究探索了50名在文化和语言上各异的非洲移民学生在美国的公立城市中学和中学就读的经历。通过深入的访谈,并通过不断的比较分析,发现的新发现突显了课堂上在教学,语言和课程上的变异斗争;过渡性背景挑战;文化失配;沟通不畅和刻板印象。根据这些经验,非洲移民城市青年利用家庭,航海和志向资本来抵制陈规定型的假设,并发展应对固有挑战所必需的适应能力。
