    Abstract
    Significant shifts in demographics across the United States continue to impact educational demands and decisions. This article is an initial investigation of the behaviors and understandings of a bilingual student participating in an academic literacy community. In order to begin exploring my topic, I posed the question: “What traits are evident in a bilingual student’s writing at home and at school?” The participants included a 5th grade male and his mother; both speak English as a second language and are of South Korean heritage. I approached my research qualitatively; using discourse analysis of written text and oral conversation and ethnographic research to generate possible answers to my question. My findings include (a) writing traits are positively influenced by text-based responses, voice, and choice; (b) writing is negatively impacted by vocabulary and conventions; (c) understanding of reading and writing is cultivated through heritage language and second language. I concluded that (a) ESL students may exhibit progress towards proficiency in writing when presented with opportunities to write in genres related to their primary discourse; (b) text-based responses may require less orchestration, benefiting English Language Learners; (c) a teacher’s professional knowledge and instructional expertise concerning English Language Learners might benefit from conducting ethnographic research while working with such students.
