Abstract:

This book follows four emergent bilingual students in an English-medium
pre-kindergarten in the US as they navigate the social and linguistic demands
of school. It illustrates how students’ differing classroom social positions
shaped their participation in interaction and, in turn, their English language
learning across a school year. With a unique focus on both processes and
outcomes, the book highlights language strategies that are overlooked if the
focus is solely on one language or on group participation, and it emphasizes
the importance of assessment choice in shaping which learners appear to be
successful. It is a powerful argument for recognising the translingual and
multimodal abilities of learners, even in education which is officially
English-medium and monolingual.
