Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyse the linguistic and cognitive interactions between immigrant Mexican children in the social context of collaborative conversation in the classroom. The linguistic exchanges documented in this project provide a window on what happens when teachers and students collaborate to transform thought and learning through discursive practice in their native language. This paper examines the way children use their previous knowledge to negotiate meaning and to develop shared understanding. This paper provides compelling examples that challenge the notion that certain minority groups lack the cultural, linguistic or intellectual background to be successful at school.
