“…Language is always a prerequisite for communication and interaction. The president of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), Redmond, once stated that foreign languages or world language skills were at the core of students' preparation for globalization and that the study of languages made global competence possible [16]. In contrast, language barriers impede communication and thus have a negative impact on global competence [8].…”

The reinforcement of global competence is vital for students to thrive in a rapidly changing world. This study explores the synergistic effects of both student and school factors on the classification of secondary students with high and low levels of global competence. Data are selected based on 208,556 secondary students from 6902 schools in 25 countries/regions and extracted from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 datasets. Different from previous research, in this study, data science techniques, i.e., decision trees (DTs) and random forests (RFs), are adopted. Classification models are built to discriminate high achievers from low achievers and to discover the optimal set of factors with the most powerful impact on the discrimination of these two groups of achievers. The results show that both models have satisfactory classification abilities. According to the factor importance rankings in terms of discriminating global competence disparities, student factors play a major role. They especially emphasize students’ capacities to examine global issues, students’ awareness of intercultural communication, and teachers’ attitudes toward different cultural groups.

O presente artigo apresenta um levantamento sobre a influênciado lar, da comunidade e da escolana manutenção da língua e cultura minoritárias em crianças matriculadas em programas de biletramento (que ensinam a ler e a escrever em duas ou mais línguas) enquanto residentes de comunidades de imigrantes nos Estados Unidos. Este artigo traz o pano histórico, adescrição dos programas dos tipos Two-Way Immersion e Transitional Bilingual Programdisponíveisno país atualmente, e a legislação estadual vigente de um sistema escolar relativamente descentralizado a fim de encontrar um elo entre o papel de cada um de seus participantes –a família, a comunidade e a escola – como uma fundamentação teórica formulada a partir da perspectiva sócio cultural. Um dos temas resultantes mais eminentes é a construção constante de uma identidade bicultural para suportar o biletramento, ou seja, a junção de práticas culturais e sociais em mais de uma língua por todos envolvidos para que a estrutura e o investimento bilíngue se sustente por médio a longo prazo. As implicações relacionadas ao crescimento de famílias de diversidade linguística e cultural no mundo também são discutidas.
