Abstract:

In the context of constantly increasing linguistic diversity in many parts of
the world, opportunities and challenges arise for the acquisition of literacy
skills. The successful development of literacy skills becomes a crucial
prerequisite for educational attainment determining future career prospects of
migrant students. Multilingual settings reveal the diversification of
languages and scripts prompted in the context of migration. This monograph
explores the phenomenon of biscriptuality and aims to provide an approach for
investigating the development of biliteracy in the context of divergent
scripts. This interdisciplinary mixed-methods study bridges intercultural
education science, education research and applied linguistics for gaining a
complex view on the role of biscriptuality in students’ biliteracy. It
considers the extent of students’ biscriptual skills, specifies language
dimensions in which the influence on biliteracy may occur, and differentiates
between the effects of biscriptuality on the development of writing skills in
two different genres, narrative and expository.
