This study explores the stances that multilingual learners adopt in the face of a  monolingual, “English-only” norm in a primary English medium class in Finland.  I examine classroom interaction focusing on three students and the ways in which  they reinterpret, reformulate, and contest this norm. This research is informed by  the perspective of language socialization and draws on methods of  microethnographic discourse analysis. I find that the three focal students come  into opposition when they interpret and manage the institutional monolingual  norm differently, indexing issues of mother tongue expertise and group  membership. Aleksi employs a variety of discursive practices in resisting the  English language norm, conceptualizing it quite differently than Lucille who seeks  to monitor language use among her peers. Ali operates on the border, revealing a  surprising degree of metalinguistic awareness and interest in how languages are  situated institutionally. All three students articulate different stances on the use of  English and Finnish in their lives. Language use transcends institutional  boundaries, and norms are reproduced in concert and in conflict with other  members of the class. My findings speak to contested language practice everywhere,  to institutional norms regarding language use, to the ways in which students  respond, reproduce, and reject institutional linguistic ideologies, and the different  roles students give to languages in their daily lives. ...
