Abstract

The influential role of parents has long been acknowledged as a key contributor to children’s bilingual development. Parents’ home-based informal efforts to foster children’s bilingual abilities are described as family language policies (FLPs). The important connection between bilingualism and FLP has been established, but to date there are few studies concerning Korean immigrant families in Australia, highlighting their unique cultural values. According to traditional Korean cultural values, mothers play a central role as An-hae (the sun inside) to facilitate their children’s language development (Kim, 2006). This study aimed to create a clearer picture of Korean mothers’ beliefs about bilingualism and their FLPs. The participants were six Korean mothers with their children attending a community language program in Sydney. There are two data sets for this study: a six-weeks’ FLP daily log of each family and a focus group interview. A thematic analysis of these data revealed the richness and specificity of FLPs for bilingual development. This paper concludes with implications for a future research agenda.

韩国拌饭妈妈的家庭语言政策(FLPs)为他们的孩子在澳大利亚的双语

长期以来，父母的影响作用一直被认为是儿童双语发展的关键因素。父母以家庭为基础的培养孩子双语能力的非正式努力被称为家庭语言政策(FLPs)。双语与FLP之间的重要联系已经确立，但迄今为止关于澳大利亚韩国移民家庭的研究很少，突出了他们独特的文化价值。根据韩国传统的文化价值观，母亲在促进孩子的语言发展方面扮演着“安海”(内在的太阳)的核心角色(Kim, 2006)。本研究旨在更清楚地了解韩国母亲对双语及其flp的看法。参加者是在悉尼参加社区语言课程的6名韩国母亲。本研究有两个数据集:每个家庭六周的FLP每日日志和焦点小组访谈。对这些数据的专题分析揭示了FLPs对双语发展的丰富性和特殊性。本文总结了对未来研究议程的启示。
