Abstract

This study proposes that when parents are involved in providing learning support, the success rates for language acquisition are significantly higher. This paper explores the pedagogical strategies employed by non-Mandarin speaking parents through interactions to support their children’s language development. A cross case analysis carried out with five high achieving children and their families showed that parents were involved personally in their child’s education. They took it upon themselves to read with the child, play with the child, learn the language together with the child, assess the child and create opportunities for the child to practise the language. The study revealed that the support and psychological tools parents used helped to mediate their children’s language development process within family practices. These psychological tools could be adopted in classroom settings to supplement language acquisition pedagogies used by teachers.

父母参与与儿童语言习得之间的关系

本研究提出，当父母参与提供学习支持时，语言习得的成功率会显著提高。本文探讨了不讲普通话的家长通过互动支持子女语言发展的教学策略。对五名成绩优秀的儿童及其家庭进行的交叉案例分析表明，家长亲自参与了孩子的教育。他们主动与孩子一起阅读、一起玩耍、一起学习语言、评估孩子并为孩子创造练习语言的机会。研究显示，家长使用的支持和心理工具有助于在家庭实践中调解孩子的语言发展过程。这些心理工具可用于课堂教学，以补充教师使用的语言习得教学法。

期刊介绍： Chinese as a Second Language Research (CASLAR) focuses on research on the acquisition, development, and use of Chinese as a Second Language. It supports scholars and researchers from different linguistic fields, and serves as a forum to discuss, investigate, and better understand Chinese as a Second Language. Each issue (2 per year) of the journal publishes three papers in Chinese and three papers in English; summaries are always provided both in Chinese and English. We are especially interested in publishing articles and research papers that investigate how empirical findings of CSL research can advance and develop better Chinese language teaching methodologies, explore the implications of CSL research for theoretical developments and practical applications, focus on the acquisition and use of varieties of CSL, study the nature of interaction between native speakers and non-native speakers of Chinese, address major issues of second language acquisition from the perspective of CSL, analyze the ways in which language is both shaped by culture and is the medium through which culture is created.
