Abstract

ABSTRACT Over the last decade, unprecedented numbers of students of Mexican origin have been transitioning from the U.S. to Mexico. The presence of these students in Mexican schools has raised concerns regarding the challenges they face and the possible squandering of their linguistic and cultural asset. In this article, we contribute to an understanding of the question of why some individuals experience this transition as difficult, but not others. Drawing on a research project about the experiences of migrant students in public elementary schools of Tamaulipas, Mexico, we analyze how migrant children’s narratives portray the interrelationship between migratory moves, schooling experiences, and the implications this has for their bicultural and bilingual identities. The phenomenological approach of the study suggests that participants’ narratives emphasize the interplay between individual identities and the wider sociolinguistic, institutional and political context, which lead to divergent processes and outcomes of their transition. Implications for further research and policy are outlined.

从美国到墨西哥教育体系的转变:跨国学生的经历
摘要在过去的十年里,从美国到墨西哥的墨西哥裔学生数量空前。这些学生在墨西哥学校的存在引起了人们对他们面临的挑战以及他们的语言和文化资产可能被浪费的担忧。在这篇文章中,我们有助于理解为什么有些人经历这种转变很困难,而另一些人却没有。根据一个关于墨西哥塔毛利帕斯州公立小学移民学生经历的研究项目,我们分析了移民儿童的叙事如何描绘移民迁移、上学经历之间的相互关系,以及这对他们的双文化和双语身份的影响。该研究的现象学方法表明,参与者的叙述强调了个人身份与更广泛的社会语言学、制度和政治背景之间的相互作用,这导致了他们转变的不同过程和结果。概述了对进一步研究和政策的影响。
