DESCRIPTION:In this presentation I describe the theoretical underpinnings 
 of multilingual socialization\, a fertile area of research internationally
  (Duff\, 2012\; Duff & Hornberger\, 2008\; Duff & Talmy\, 2011)\, and note
  several recent illustrative studies. I then present my research on social
 ization into--and through--Mandarin and English language education\, ideol
 ogies\, and practices within the multilingual ecology of Yunnan Province i
 n southwest China\, home to 25 ethnic minority groups. While many Yunnanes
 e speak minority languages in their everyday lives\, those languages are g
 enerally not part of their formal education. Therefore\, once students enc
 ounter Mandarin and English through formal schooling\, especially past the
  primary years\, and migrate to towns and cities\, language shift to Manda
 rin is often inevitable. I describe the multilingual repertoires\, ideolog
 ies\, and socialization of a subset of Chinese (minority-background) Engli
 sh teachers and students from a larger study\, in which participants refle
 ct on their multilingual and multicultural lives\, losses\, and desires in
  relation to English and their other languages. I conclude by considering 
 possibilities\, tensions\, and vulnerabilities in multilingual socializati
 on for learners in these and other minority-language contexts.
