Objective: The objective of this study was to create a model of English learners’ (ELs) persistence based on theory and empirical research. Findings from this research informs community college educators in helping ELs persist and guide future research regarding this important student population. Method: We examined ELs’ persistence using structural equation modeling (SEM) based on data from the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) among a U.S. national sample of 6,872 ELs. SEM was informed through the means of measurement models for latent variables. Reliability and validity were assessed through Cronbach’s alpha, principal component analysis, and fit indices. Results: Our results show that (a) sense of belonging had significant and positive direct effects on ELs’ persistence based on reenrollment decisions, (b) socioacademic integrative moments had significant and positive direct effects on ELs’ sense of belonging, and (c) learning communities had significant and positive direct effects on ELs’ socioacademic integrative moments and sense of belonging. Contributions: Community colleges offer broad access to postsecondary education for ELs, or students in the process of learning English as a second or other language. As a whole, our study contributes to a better understanding of how ELs may persist in their academic studies. We further discuss the implications of our findings in light of policy, practice, and future research.

基于社区学院的重新入学决定,探索与 EL 坚持相关的归属感、社会学术整合时刻和学习社区

目的:本研究的目的是基于理论和实证研究创建一个英语学习者 (ELs) 持久性模型。这项研究的结果为社区大学教育工作者提供了帮助 EL 坚持并指导有关这一重要学生群体的未来研究的信息。方法:我们使用结构方程模型 (SEM) 根据来自社区大学学生参与度调查 (CCSSE) 的数据在美国全国 6,872 名 EL 样本中检查了 EL 的持久性。SEM 通过潜在变量的测量模型获得信息。通过 Cronbach's alpha、主成分分析和拟合指数评估可靠性和有效性。结果:我们的结果表明,(a)归属感对基于重新注册决定的 EL 的持久性具有显着和积极的直接影响,(b) 社会学术整合时刻对 EL 的归属感有显着和积极的直接影响,以及 (c) 学习社区对 EL 的社会学术整合时刻和归属感有显着和积极的直接影响。贡献:社区学院为 EL 或正在将英语作为第二语言或其他语言学习的学生提供接受高等教育的广泛途径。总的来说,我们的研究有助于更好地了解 EL 如何坚持他们的学术研究。我们根据政策、实践和未来研究进一步讨论了我们的发现的影响。贡献:社区学院为 EL 或正在将英语作为第二语言或其他语言学习的学生提供接受高等教育的广泛途径。总的来说,我们的研究有助于更好地了解 EL 如何坚持他们的学术研究。我们根据政策、实践和未来研究进一步讨论了我们的发现的影响。贡献:社区学院为 EL 或正在将英语作为第二语言或其他语言学习的学生提供接受高等教育的广泛途径。总的来说,我们的研究有助于更好地了解 EL 如何坚持他们的学术研究。我们根据政策、实践和未来研究进一步讨论了我们的发现的影响。
