The Cultural and linguistic resources of advanced bilingual learners : a case study of four bilingual learners in a multilingual London school
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
The paper investigates the cultural and linguistic resources of advanced bilingual learners in the United Kingdom with reference to a case study of four ten year olds of bilingual backgrounds studying in a multilingual London school. I argue that rather than viewing such children as a 'problem', as typically happens, schools might make fuller use of the pedagogic potential that such children represent. The study describes conversations with the children against the background of both home and school domains to offer a window on a rich repertoire of linguistic and cultural practices which are frequently invisible within the school setting. The paper concludes with proposals as to how schools might maximise the knowledge and skills of advanced bilingual learners in more constructive and creative ways than is currently the case. ; 13 page(s)
