Abstract
The results reported in this book revealed a complex picture about children of international migrants in Britain, France and Germany. None of the models of immigrant incorporation presented in Chapter 2 captured these phenomena completely. Nevertheless, there was strong evidence of assimilation. This was clearly evident in terms of language use. All children of international migrants in Britain, France and Germany spoke and read their respective host country languages. These languages were the standard means of communication in the three countries. They were also the exclusive medium of teaching in the compulsory state educational systems in all three countries.
