Abstract | This study examined how Dominican English-language learners at Bronx Community College achieved academic resiliency despite facing personal, academic, and environmental adversities. Using individual interviews, data were analyzed from the perception of students. A resilient-based model emerged that sheds light on the personal barriers experienced by Dominican English-language learners in an urban community college and the facilitating factors which fostered educational resiliency. The author found seven resiliency factors that contributed to the academic achievement of Dominican English-language learners: (a) faculty support, (b) tutoring support, (c) counseling support, (d) peer support, (e) family support, (f) self-motivation, and (g) bi-cultural identity development.
