Abstract	This dissertation presents an ethnographic case study that focuses on a bilingual child's socialization and language use in multiple contexts. To understand the complex and multidimensional socialization processes of a bilingual child, a multi-sited approach was used. The study followed a 7-year-old Korean-American bilingual child into linguistically, culturally, and functionally diverse contexts--an English monolingual context (school), Korean-English bilingual contexts (church and Korean heritage language school), and a Korean monolingual context (home) for a year. Through prolonged observations and engagement, I collected audio and/or video recordings of observations and interviews, artifacts, and fieldnotes. Using language socialization as a major theoretical lens, I analyzed a total of 694 speech events, which make up approximately 180 hours of recordings. The dissertation focuses on three aspects of a bilingual child's socialization: 1) the child's academic socialization in formal and informal academic settings, 2) peer and sibling socialization, and 3) socialization in politeness. The study found that the child played an active role in her socialization process and experienced diverse and contrasting socialization processes across contexts through participating in multiple communities of practice. The language and culture of each setting offered different socialization processes. The child relatively easily socialized in the setting in which social and cultural norms and expectations were explicit and clear (e.g., public elementary school). The child experienced difficulties, however, socializing in an environment in which norms and assessment were unclear or complex (e.g., church's Sunday school, heritage language school, and home). The findings from this study have implications for U.S. schools and heritage language schools to enhance their understandings of bilingual students and thereby improve their programs. Furthermore, the findings problematize the current practice of the schools and provide practical suggestions. For parents, the study provides a glimpse at how their children participate in communities other than home and sheds light on the language use and behavior of their children at home, enabling them to make more informed decisions as they try to help their children develop their identity and communicative skills. This study contributes to research on language socialization by addressing a lack of research in young multilingual children's language socialization in multiple settings. The study moves forward, methodologically and conceptually, language socialization theory. The study closely examines a bilingual child's socialization processes in multiple settings including formal and informal academic settings, a religious setting, and a familial setting. It also discusses how the child builds and develops her bilingual communicative competence and identity through social interactions in multiple settings. It offers insights into bilingual language socialization using a multi-sited approach and relevant theoretical perspectives such as a nexus of multimembership, and the interpretive study of children.
