The Multilingual Adolescent Experience : Small Stories of Integration and Socialization by Polish Families in Ireland, Hardback Book

The Multilingual Adolescent Experience : Small Stories of Integration and Socialization by Polish Families in Ireland Hardback

Part of the Bilingual Education & Bilingualism series

Hardback

Description

This book contributes to our understanding of how older learners negotiate family internal and family external socialisation processes and thereby how parents' ideologies and practices, peer socialisation, and language status or societal demands come together in adolescents' lives.

It integrates the sociohistorical context and adolescents' attitudes with the parents' role.

Through the use of 'small stories' and ethnographic observation this book explores the social and cultural worlds of Polish immigrant adolescents in Ireland, the ways they seek membership and belonging in their communities of practice, and the ways in which they develop sociohistorical understandings across the languages and cultures they are part of.

It sheds light on schooling and family communities and the role they play in the socialization processes of immigrant children.
