| Popis: | Culturally and linguistically responsive education takes the learners’ diverse identities andlanguages into account in many ways. This article explores the orientations that emerge whenpre-service and in-service teachers evaluate their preparedness to conduct certain culturallyand linguistically responsive practices. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on surveydata from 181 respondents. In general, teachers’ orientations towards culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy were positive. Three orientations were identified: orientation toculture, to language and learning, and to affirming identities, with the last being the strongest.Gender, training on multicultural education and current professional status had a significantinfluence on respondents’ orientations. The results give valuable information for developingteacher education to better respond to the needs of those teaching diverse learners. |
