Invisible experiences, muted voices, and the language socialization of Québec, migrant-background students
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This case study examines the second language socialization of migrant-background (MB) students (n = 8) enrolled in a Greater Montréal public primary school, where the language of instruction is French. This examination includes MB students’ experiences learning French and learning through French, and the impact of their knowledge of other languages on their academic experiences. Teachers’ beliefs, perceptions, and experiences working with MB students were also investigated to outline participants’ needs and challenges in this school context. Data collection included classroom observations (approx. 13 hours), observations of students’ in-class peer interactions, six teacher interviews, two focal group interviews with students, and two individual interviews with parents. Findings reveal that learners were socialized to be French speakers, but as non-native speakers, they are also socialized as deficient French speakers. Students’ other languages were not valued or viewed as a resource, although findings include signs that students secretly used these resources to support their learning.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
