This ground breaking research explores language maintenance and
shift focusing on a school community. Following students' language
practice inside and outside of school, the author offers a full
picture of students' multilingual practices and their role in
shaping identity. Using case studies of eight girls from Vietnamese
and Cambodian backgrounds, the book draws on data from
questionnaires, interviews and ethnographic observation to bring
these language practices to life. It explores the place of heritage
languages, English and other languages in the girls' repertoires
and investigates the role they see for these languages in their
lives. A key focus of the book is the role of the school
environment in shaping students' repertoires and unfolding sense of
ethnic identity; both directly through formal instruction and
indirectly through its ethos and social composition. It provides
practical suggestions on the basis of extensive research for how
schools can negotiate some of the challenges of catering to a
multiethnic population. Essential reading for anyone researching
migrant language practice, sociolinguistics or multicultural
education.
