Multilingual socialization: Negotiating multiple languages, identities, ideologies, and practices
In this presentation I describe the theoretical underpinnings of multilingual socialization, a fertile area of research internationally (Duff, 2012; Duff & Hornberger, 2008; Duff & Talmy, 2011), and note several recent illustrative studies. I then present my research on socialization into--and through--Mandarin and English language education, ideologies, and practices within the multilingual ecology of Yunnan Province in southwest China, home to 25 ethnic minority groups.
