Bumpy Journeys: A Young Chinese Adolescent's Transitional Schooling Across Two Sociocultural Contexts

摘要

This qualitative case study explores one young adolescent's transitional schooling from an American context to a Chinese context. Although the student was bilingual and bicultural, she experiences multiple struggles, triumphs, and dilemmas across the two educational settings. These findings have implications for those adolescents and parents who journey through different sociocultural spaces in the complex process of schooling, immigration, and acculturation and for classroom teachers who teach such students.View full textDownload full textKey wordsbicultural identity, Chinese education, Chinese returnee students, transitional schoolingRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15348451003704792
