The study explored how children perceive the multilingual environment in which they grow up as agents, expressing themselves through play in artwork. This mini-ethnographic study used purposive sampling of six preschool children aged 5 years who spoke Arabic and Russian as their first languages (L1) and were learning Hebrew as an L2, both within and outside the preschool classroom, in a mixed-population city in Israel. Playful art activities were used to engage children in research and elicit their perceptions as an ecologically valid research tool. Theory-drawn thematic analysis resulted in the following themes: awareness of the multilingual environment, attitudes towards languages, and language preferences; motives for language learning; issues in language socialization; metacognitive beliefs: metacognitive beliefs about themselves as language learners; metacognitive beliefs about others as language learners; and metacognitive beliefs about how to teach L2. The results show how children’s perceptions reflect their here-and-now experiences in a multilingual environment, amid a complex meeting of different ethnolinguistic communities. It sheds light on how children enact their agency by applying diverse cognitive and social strategies in L2 learning.
