The pilot case study explored how language minority families and their mainstream preschool teacher supported their language minority children, in order to determine ways to enhance the home and school literacy connection. Participants in the study included two Korean families who had children enrolled in a Head Start program with their American teacher. The multiple methods of data collection included a survey, interviews and video recording of classroom and home literacy practices. Findings revealed that although parents and teachers provided good support to their children, their literacy support was rather isolated and disconnected. Via the lens of funds of knowledge, the underlying issue of the disconnected home-school literacy support was related to the inactivation of students’ home language and culture, as a resource for L2 literacy learning. Lastly, this study suggested some ways to enhance the bridge between language minority homes and classrooms, including the practice of classroom book reading at home and sharing video clips of literacy activities at home and school.
Abstract
The pilot case study explored how language minority families and their mainstream preschool teacher supported their language minority children, in order to determine ways to enhance the home and school literacy connection. Participants in the study included two Korean families who had children enrolled in a Head Start program with their American teacher. The multiple methods of data collection included a survey, interviews and video recording of classroom and home literacy practices. Findings revealed that although parents and teachers provided good support to their children, their literacy support was rather isolated and disconnected. Via the lens of funds of knowledge, the underlying issue of the disconnected home-school literacy support was related to the inactivation of students’ home language and culture, as a resource for L2 literacy learning. Lastly, this study suggested some ways to enhance the bridge between language minority homes and classrooms, including the practice of classroom book reading at home and sharing video clips of literacy activities at home and school.
