Resumen:	Studies of Child Language Brokering (CLB) have been rather scarce in Spain, with only few exceptions such as García-Sánchez (2010) and Foulquié-Rubio (2015). This contrasts with the rapid expansion of the practice during the past years. This paper presents an ongoing research project, which seeks to shed light on this topic by describing CLB in the province of Barcelona. Furthermore, it aims to provide objective, empirical information about the extent and characteristics of this relatively covert practice among the major migrated communities (Moroccan, Romanian, Chinese, Pakistani). We will present the methodological approach adopted in the research, which combines quantitative and qualitative methods, namely questionnaires, focus groups and interviews. The project takes into account the various perspectives of the actors involved in child-mediated interactions (child and young interpreters, former child interpreters, parents, public service providers). We will also present the first results of this work in progress, which cover a wide range of aspects: emotional impact, identity, language learning, interpreting skills, gender, differences among communities, etc. Finally, we will also discuss the suitability of developing specific CLB pedagogical tools aimed at schools with students from culturally diverse backgrounds.
