ABSTRACT
This chapter hopes to contribute to a growing body of research that documents migrant families' language use in order to understand which practices foster learning in home and school settings. Language socialization is an interdisciplinary paradigm that focuses on interrelated processes of language acquisition and socialization. It identifies the multiple perspectives that parents and children have about language and learning and explores how these beliefs are shaped by migration and education experiences. The demographic changes have led to the implementation of a range of formal and informal educational reforms within Millvalley. The interactions presented in the following section took place about a month after Ignacio returned to Millvalley. Ines chronicled the economic circumstances that drove Latinos to engage in secondary migration from traditional settlement states in the United States to emerging diasporic communities like Millvalley. There are currently at least 5, 100 children and youth that have been placed in foster care because of the criminalization and deportation of parents.
