Erbjudanden till kommunikation i en flerspråkig förskola : fria och riktade handlingsområden

English abstract The study was conducted in a multilingual preschool setting in a city in the south of Sweden. The aim of the study was to highlight and to understand how children"s abilities to communicate with each other vary in different situations in a preschool setting. The result indicates that children"s opportunities to position themselves as communicative agents sometimes are restricted by the institutional order of the pre-school. The result also points to the importance of fields of free action for the development of children"s communication-skills.
