Abstract
"The present qualitative study explores significant issues regarding the construction of identity in children of a bilingual school in the Central Pacific Coast of Mexico, for this purpose three main factors will be analyzed. First, to identify through discourse, how the culture generated inside the classroom by teachers and student´s background influences their construction of identity. Second, to analyze how this cultural identity could impact their relationship with the society. Finally, to provide a better understanding of bilingual cultural identity development in students of an elementary school within a touristic community in the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Identity, language and culture and interconnected concepts, but sometimes out of sight by the teachers. They assumed that their worldview and practices are culturally grounded, guided and facilitated. The results suggest the construction of identity is constantly regulated by the Judgement of their attitudes and behaviors, in these cases, the ones related to Social Esteem. The aim of this research is to analyze the discourse of children as they describe their experience in a private bilingual classroom of the Mexican Pacific Coast".
