"Who are ""we""?: Social relationships and peer interactions in a multilingual/multicultural preschool classroom"

This study explores the peer social world of preschool children in a multilingual/multicultural classroom. Using an ethnographic approach, I focus on the following aspects: how do children organize themselves into groups given the boundaries of language and culture; how do children interact with each other across the group boundaries; and how is the construction and the operation of the peer world influenced by the routines and rules planned by the adults? Methods included participant observation, video and audio taping, interviews of adults and children.
