Abstract

The study proposes the analyzis of theoretical frameworks on Shared Teaching in Bilingual Education, focusing on the theories by Marilyn Friend (2008a, 2008b), Andrea Honigsfeld, and Maria G. Dove (2008-2020). Utilizing the State of Knowledge (Morosini, 2015), the study highlights its relevance not only as a collaborative practice, but as an articulating axis of inclusion and quality of teaching in additional languages. The research is structured into three parts: the object of study, the State of Knowledge, and the theoretical framework, which addresses components of Shared Teaching practice and its implications for the quality of bilingual education. The results emphasize the importance of this approach in promoting inclusion and diversity, as well as highlighting the significance of institutional support to enhance collaboration and build more equitable educational environments.
