Abstract
This ethnographic research study is based on a translanguaging intervention and focuseson multilingual students’ perception and practices related to the minority language. Thetheoretical approach adopted in order to accomplish this study is “Focus on Multilingualism”developed by Cenoz & Gorter (2011, 2014) and highlights the need to adopt a holistic approach inresearch and teaching of languages in the school context. The methodological approach is based onclassroom ethnography and data have been collected through observations, interviews andquestionnaires. The information gathered, in a group of primary students (fifth and sixth grade)from a public school of the BAC, has been categorized to analyze it in depth by Atlas.ti.Gradually the use of the minority language is increasing out of the schooling area; furthermorestudents’ are linguistically aware of the situation of the minority language, however preliminaryresults of the investigation suggest that there is a mismatch between the actual use thatmultilingual students make of the minority language and their beliefs about its use.
