This study examines the attitudes of 58 bilingual primary-school children towards their first and second languages, and the attitudes they attribute to parents, teachers and peers in the context of the home, the classroom and the playground. It also examines whether students' attitudes to language are moderated by whether or not they were born in Australia, the cultural group to which they belong, whether or not they had received English as a Second Language (ESL) help, and the number of years they have lived in Australia.
