Abstract | In this qualitative study, we explored the perspectives of three adolescent immigrants regarding learning English in an American High School. We learned that 1) academically English was the primary venue of instruction and considered the primary pathway to educational success. 2) The students claimed their ability to communicate in English had surpassed their ability to communicate in Spanish, and 3) Although they still appeared to maintain belief in the power of the English language as a pivotal point of access to success and upward mobility, they also began to question English's unequivocal priority in their educational careers.
