At the Crossroad of Bilingualism, Biliteracy, and Bilingual Education: An Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

An annotated bibliography has become a common form of academic assignments in various courses as well as a fundamental part of writing research papers. As studies on annotated bibliographies are underrepresented in Indonesian academic research, this article presents a reflective, combinative annotated bibliography of foundational works in bilingualism, biliteracy, and bilingual education. Drawing on chapters of the seminal books, the writers provide six annotated entries highlighting major theoretical concepts, principles, and pedagogical insights in bilingualism, biliteracy, and bilingual education. The writers suggest integrating an annotated bibliography into classroom instruction and class projects/assignments is necessary to enhance students’ critical engagement with literature in bilingualism, biliteracy, and bilingual education.
