The present paper discusses the 'silent' bilingualism of children of migrant background in Greek primary schools, based on recent research undertaken in selected primary schools in the region of Volos, Greece, during the school year 2003-2004. The issues raised concern the teachers' views on the possible problematic areas in the acquisition of Greek as a second language and the bilingual realities of the children involved. The analysis of our data leads us to the conclusion that bilingualism, whether active or passive, is an untold reality for the children in our sample, which educators need to bring to the surface.
