Abstract

Desde el inicio de la educación bilingüe han existido continuos indicios de que algunos maestros bilingües no cuentan con la habilidad lingüística para impartir el currículo en español académico. Este ensayo deslinda una interpretación de las causas que subyacen este problema. Argumentamos que la política y la economía diluyen el aspecto socio-psicológico del español académico que se transmite de generación en generación a través de los mismos programas bilingües. Tomamos la posición de que los profesores que preparan a los maestros bilingües tienen que empezar a producir conocimiento en español académico para contrarrestar esta situación.

Since the inception of bilingual education in the United States there have been consistent indicators that some bilingual education teachers fall short in being able to teach across the curriculum in academic Spanish. This essay outlines an interpretation of the causes underlying this. Furthermore, it argues that language policy and the economics of language in the United States dilute the sociopsychological dimension of academic Spanish passed on from generation to generation through the bilingual programs themselves. The authors argue that those professors who prepare bilingual education teachers must begin to produce knowledge in academic Spanish to offset this entrenched condition.
