Research on linguistic contact between Spanish and English in the United States has predominantly focused on regions with large Spanish-speaking populations with long-term language contact. Nevertheless, smaller communities of Spanish speakers are emerging with some frequency in the U.S. Midwest as a growing number of rural towns diversify due to a variety of employment opportunities, revealing unique dynamics of language contact. Based on the principle that language both reflects and helps to construct the social identity of its users, this study used ethnographic methods to investigate the language choices made by the students in a dual language immersion program in response to the differential values regularly assigned to contact languages within a given linguistic marketplace. In spite of the equalizing measures to balance the two languages in the classroom, the data point to powerful processes of socialization into an English-dominant society, which are mitigated only by familial ideologies that resist, albeit quietly, the hegemony of the English language. This study analyzed patterns of daily classroom language choices made by fifty kindergarten and second-grade dual language students. Based on these patterns, seven students (five native speakers of Spanish and two native speakers of English) who used Spanish more consistently than their peers in the classroom were selected for further study. This stage of the investigation focused on the ways in which familial language ideologies worked to socialize these children into particular linguistic and communicative competencies. Socialization processes were found to be shaped and altered through a three-part environment, including the home, the school as institution, and the broader community. Additionally individual students utilized these resources in variable ways in the construction of their own cultural and linguistic identities as members of this Midwest language contact community.
