Annotation

This article examines the language ideologies and management strategies of two families who lately migrated from Greece to Luxembourg, -which has a trilingual education system-, as well as factors affecting their policies. The findings display that the families have opposing language ideologies and management strategies that are informed by their distinct transnational experiences, competences and worldviews.
