Language education policy in England frequently considers the impact of different types of provision on interethnic relations amongst youth. But one may sometimes doubt the extent to which policy makers have a clear understanding of adolescent race relations. This paper draws on an ethnographic investigation of language use in a multiracial friendship group, and it compares adolescent perspectives on bilingualism and ESL with the views adopted in official policy. In both areas, adolescent perspectives sometimes seemed to be more far-reaching in their cultural frames of reference and in their sense of social and linguistic possibility. The paper then considers whether these kinds of adolescent sociolinguistic understanding could really be incorporated within the proposals for language awareness curricula that are at present highly favoured amongst educationalists.
