This study examines the migration experiences of non-English speaking background children. The research was conducted at the Southside Primary
Introductory English Centre in the A.C.T. An ethnographic approach was
employed enabling the researcher to participate in the setting in order to
develop an in depth understanding of the children's experiences.
The data was collected using observation and key informant interviewing. The
participants were encouraged to freely reflect on their past and present
experiences to enable them to make a comparative analysis of their
experiences in Australia and in their country of origin. The data has been
faithfully recorded to represent the children's point of view.
The data was then organised into taxonomies. These were used as a basis for
the analysis of the data in relation to the pertinent literature. The three major
categories examined were culture, interaction and feelings. This analysis has
been used to draw implications for the education of migrant children in the
A.C.T.
