[en] Against the backdrop of the ongoing crisis-led migration from
Southern to Northwestern Europe, the present paper reports on a case study of
two families who have recently migrated from Greece to Luxembourg.
Luxembourg has a trilingual education system and many pupils of migrant
background face difficulties on this account. Drawing on the framework of
Family Language Policy, this paper explores the language ideologies and management
strategies of two families as well as factors influencing their policies.
This qualitative study was based on interviews, observations, and videos
recorded by one of the families. The findings show that the families have
contrasting language ideologies and management strategies that are informed
by their differing transnational experiences, competences and worldviews. This
study can contribute to a better understanding of the ways in which migrant
families use their language resources in their new country.
