STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State University assistant English department professor Lourdes Cardozo-Gaibisso is collaborating through a $1.2M grant from the National Institutes of Health to advance immersive learning environments for Latine multilingual learners (LML) with a focus on science, technology, engineering and math settings. Cardozo-Gaibisso says the 5-year project focuses on creating spaces for LML students to engage with science inquiry experiences using features of trans-languaging - maximizing communication using more than one language in a classroom. "(C)reating and using immersive learning environments to support culturally and linguistically diverse students is crucial,” she said, noting the lack of current research into the topic. The study addresses the ‘how’ questions from a multitude of perspectives - deep learning theories, immersive learning, machine learning, educational linguistics and trans-languaging.” The project - (SISTEMAS) Stimulating Immersive Science Through Engaging Multilingual and Authentic Scenarios - is supported by a Science Education Partnership Award and housed at the University of Georgia.
