    Abstract

    In this chapter, we present the outcomes of the Multilingual Cities Project (MCP)
    on the home language use and practices of primary school children in Lyon and its environs. For an extensive overview, we refer to Akinci et al. (2004). Section 11.1
    deals with the status of immigrant minority ( henceforward IM) groups and their
    languages in France. In Section 11.2, information is given on the teaching of languages other than French and on French language policy, with relevant statistics on home language instruction (henceforward HLI). In Section 11.3, the findings of the home language survey (henceforward HLS) amongst primary school children in Lyon are presented. In Section 11.4, nine parameters that are relevant to HLI at primary and secondary schools in France are presented. Section 11.5 contains conclusions and a discussion of the outcomes of this study.
