ethnic identity; academic/language achievement and ethnic identiy.

Hello.

I assumed from your question that you were primarily interested in
bilingual, or non-English speaking children in American schools. 
Primarily those are the types of articles I have included.  However, I
have also include some other references on language learning in
different groups of students.

I searched in Social Science Citation in order to find references for
your topic.  I used strings such as “language and academic
achievement”, “motivation and language achievement”, “ethnic identity
and motivation”, and “ethnic identity and language achievement”,
“curriculum and ethnic identity”.  These are the articles I found that
I thought would be most appropriate to your question.

cooperative integrated reading and composition on students making the
transition from Spanish to English reading. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL JOURNAL
99 (2): 153-165 NOV
This article looks at second and third graders language abilities in
bilingual children.  I do not think that it specifically addresses
ethnic identity.

and Jewish students using cooperative learning (CL) and

This article looks at the writing ability of 5th and 6th grade
bilingual students.  It addresses the motivation of cooperative
learning on their language skills.

This is an article that addresses some of the motivational techniques
different teachers have used.

This is a study in Peru that looks at academic achievement including
language and language skills.  I don’t know if it has anything you
want, but I thought I would throw it in.

This describes a study of Spanish speaking adolescents which looks at
different variables, including school achievement and motivation.


This following two articles primarily look at ethnic identity and self
esteem.  They do, however, address motivation and school achievement.

This was the best article I could find on developing curriculum that
was sensitive to ethnic identity.
Harthun ML, Drapeau AE, Dustman PA, Marsiglia FF.  2002.  Implementing
a prevention curriculum - An effective researcher-teacher partnership.

I was unable to find any actual curriculum.  But, these last two
articles are the only ones that I found on the topic as you described
it.

I hope I have found what you needed.  This is at least an overview of
the research on the topics you mentioned.  Let me know if there is
something more specific you need.

Thank you
pba

it is kind of slow. and i did not get any survey questionnaires of
second language proficieny, ethnic identity and language learning
motivation for elementrry and middle school studens.

Did none of the research papers include the survey they used in their
studies?  I apologize.  I thought that they did.

There is a test called the Woodcock-Munoz Language Survey, that was
developed by Richard W. Woodcock and Ana F. Muņoz-Sandoval.  It
consists of sets of individually administered tests used to proved an
overall measure of language competence.  The tests are measures of
cognitive-academic language proficiency in English and Spanish.  They
can be used to help teachers understand a subject's language abilities
or to assess a subject's progress or readiness for English-only
instruction.
