ABSTRACT
This study aimed to identify the acculturation strategies (assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization) of Paraguayan students in the Brazilian school context, considering their psychological and sociocultural adaptation. A quantitative study was carried out with 231 students from Paraguay, or from Paraguayan descent, aged 13 to 16 years. Most students adopted assimilation and integration as acculturation strategies and found it easy to deal with two or three languages at the same time, in writing and speaking, which suggests appropriate psychological and cultural adaptation.
