AB - Due to rapid globalization and massive population movements in recent decades, the number of children growing up in plurilingual and pluricultural environments has increased globally. This paper focuses on these children and discusses the heritage language education for them from the viewpoint of post-structuralism and social constructivism. The life-stories of three persons who were raised in Korean, Japanese and other languages from childhood are analyzed by using an analytical concept, ‘Children Crossing Borders’(CCB). CCB is a concept which I have made to explore the mobile lives of those children who have been raised in plurilingual and pluricultural environments. CCB means not the children themselves but the experiences and memories of the children in relation to spatial mobility, linguistic mobility, and language-education category mobility. After the considerations on the three life-stories by the concept of CCB, it is found that the experiences and memories of children are formed and differently implied in relation to spatial mobility, linguistic mobility, and language-education category mobility. Within the field of the heritage language education, the subjective world of the children on the move has not been examined in detail. But it is necessary for us to recognize and engage with multiple trajectories in space, time, and place, to reflect on how mobile individuals interact with people throughout their lives and to try to understand their subjective world of everyday rather than look at their lives as static domestic residents in one country and only by line of decent or within the context of their heritage language education.
