This article describes the learning which takes place between children, teachers and parents in a multilingual  learning community. It centres on a community-based, supplementary/complementary Saturday class where  – slightly differently from the usual pattern – the aim is not heritage language maintenance as  such, but to enhance the pupils’ mainstream school learning and their chances for success by promoting a  “bilingual pedagogy”. This recognises the funds of knowledge that the children bring to their learning and affords  opportunities for them to use their home languages in their learning. The article is based on findings from  ethnographic case study research, which traces the experiences of language and learning in the home,  complementary class and mainstream school of twelve children who have attended the class regularly for at least  a year, and often more. In order to illuminate the scope of the data as well as the tensions entailed from different  perspectives, the article foregrounds the individual voices of participants in the research. The theoretical  frameworks related to language and learning that explain the findings include ecological perspectives, funds of  knowledge and the dimensions of time across the generations. The key argument of the article is that the  multilingual learning community has grown from and links with the history of the community as a whole. The article  ends with some conclusions in relation to mainstream education and implications for the future.
