Besides different preconditions for educational success in native and migrant families, an important role has been ascribed to students' educational aspirations in the explanation of ethnic disparities in educational attainment. Based on a sample of several hundred 9th and 10th graders in Hamburg, the study investigates the dimensions along which native and migrant students construct their educational and future career aspirations and expectations at the end of compulsory full-time education. The results provide insight into the applicability of traditional approaches that investigate the mechanisms that shape social disparities in education to explain the ethnic attainment gap, and into the controversial meaning of subjective data in the form of respondent-reported educational aspirations and the interpretation of higher aspirations in migrant families as secondary effects of ethnic origin.

"Sowohl theoretische Überlegungen als auch empirische Ergebnisse betonen die Notwendigkeit der Analyse longitudinaler Daten, um tiefere Einblicke in Spracherwerbs- und Sprachentwicklungsprozesse zu gewinnen. Auf Basis einer Studie zur Sprachentwicklung in Hamburg lebender ein- und mehrsprachiger Kinder und Jugendlicher mit zwei Messzeitpunkten (LiMA Panel Study) untersucht der vorliegende Artikel die produktiven oralen Sprachkompetenzen von 81 Kindern zu Beginn ihrer Schulkarriere. Die Studie identifiziert Unterschiede in den Mustern der Sprachentwicklung ein- und mehrsprachiger Kinder und diskutiert mit der Erfassung oraler Sprachkompetenzen, insbesondere in longitudinaler Perspektive, verbundene Herausforderungen."
