The study includes children in settings where many languages, cultures, and backgrounds converge, as well as children who are deaf or hard of hearing in relation to Swedish Sign Language and Sweden-Finnish children.
The goal is to increase understanding of how ideas about language, communication, and belonging influence children’s opportunities to participate in preschool activities and to use and develop their various languages.
