Abstract	The aim of the paper is to present the results of a research project called 'Tell Me', conducted from October 2018 to March 2020. The project focused on Bengali children living in Venice, Italy, and aimed to describe (1) children's languages in the home environment and at school; (2) the quality and quantity of input they receive in every language (both at school and at home); and (3) how the family language policy and the Italian language institution policy at schools may influence and impact their language development. The project studied seven children with migration background between the ages of four and six. All these children are suspected of having a communication disorder or a language acquisition disability, since they do not speak Italian fluently as a second language at school or Bengali as their first language at home. According to neuropsychiatrists' hypothesis, results will show that children are just not exposed sufficiently to quality L1, L2, or L3 input (at home and in different social contexts) and that in many cases these children are learning English as their main language, as it is considered as a status symbol, as well as a resource able to improve their lives.
