Abstract

Aims and objectives: This paper explores children’s experiences and perceptions of their own bilingualism in two contexts in Scotland, UK: a primary school with a high proportion of children using a language other than English at home; and a primary school where the language of instruction is an indigenous, minority language, Gaelic.
Methodology: The paper draws upon data gathered from multiple qualitative methods, includingnterviews, group activities and discussion, with both children and their parents. The data in this paper draw upon a broader interdisciplinary project exploring children’s experiences of bilingualism. Ethics were duly considered.
Data and analysis: Data were gathered from 27 children and 11 parents. Data were coded andanalysed using thematic analysis. Comparison between contexts was of particular interest for thisarticle
