Identity development is a core feature of the cross-cultural competency that dual language programs aim to promote, but guidance is lacking about how to realize this goal, particularly with our youngest learners. Drawing from an ethnographic study of a kindergarten classroom in a Spanish-English dual language program in Costa Rica, this presentation will highlight strategies for promoting and assessing identity development. Participants will leave the session with concrete instructional strategies that teachers can use to promote cross-cultural competence and identity development, as well as developmentally appropriate tasks designed to investigate these constructs with young learners.
