Authors of this book discover the intricacies of friendship and
peer cultures of children in multilingual settings. Volume 21
brings together empirical research from across the globe, and from
various methodological and theoretical orientations to investigate
children's relationships within multilingual settings such as
school, home, community and online. Diverse views of children and
young people on cross-cultural relationships offer rich and
valuable findings and contribute new knowledge for policy makers,
social workers, educators and parents about strategies children use
to make friends. Internationally, the linguistic diversity of
communities in the minority world is at its highest to date. With
increasing numbers of children learning a language other than their
home language at school or other places, it is important to
understand the nature of the social relationships that children and
youth are experiencing in their everyday lives in order to improve
their chances of successful social experiences in the future.
Applying a sociological perspective, this volume features the rich,
varied and complex aspects of children's experiences of friendship
in multilingual settings.
