This book introduces a framework for examining bilingual identity
and presents the cases of seven individual children from a study of
young students' bilingual identities in an Australian primary
school. The new Bilingual Identity Negotiation Framework brings
together three elements that influence bilingual identity
development - sociocultural connection, investment and interaction.
The cases comprise individual stories about seven young, bilingual
students and are complemented by some more general investigations
of bilingual identity from a whole class of students at the school.
The framework is explained and supported using the students'
stories and offers readers a new concept for examining and thinking
about bilingual identity. This book builds upon past and current
theories of identity and bilingualism and expands on these to
identify three interlinking elements within bilingual identity. The
book highlights the need for greater dialogue between different
sectors of research and education relating to languages and
bilingualism. It adds to the increasing call for collaborative work
from the different fields interested in language learning and
teaching such as TESOL, bilingualism, and language education.
Through the development of the framework and the students' stories
in this study, this book shows how multilingual children in one
school in Australia developed their identities in association with
their home and school languages. This provides readers with a model
for examining bilingual identity in their own contexts, or a
theoretical construct to consider in their thinking on
bilingualism, language and identity.
