The literature characterizes this demographic category as consisting of individuals who immigrate as children or are the Canadian born children of immigrants, are educated in the local school system, and have life experiences that cover two or more languages, countries, and cultures. The common feature of this demographic is that the first language, or home language, is not English or French. This themed issue addresses this topic from various perspectives including but limited to: Achievement outcomes Language and literacy Academic Language Proficiency Curriculum, pedagogy and classroom practice Teacher preparation Identity Assessment Transitions to higher education Program support Policy Provision of Services We encourage a broad range of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks, including case studies, program descriptions, classroom practice, and other qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods papers.
