This study examines the values and support that four middle-class Korean mothers with different immigrant statuses in the U.S. have for their children’s language and literacy development as presented in Korean or English book selections. The findings show that all mothers wanted their children to develop the Korean language. However, depending on their immigrant statuses and experiences, the mothers have different values in regard to their children’s developing Korean language skills. These differing values influence providing Korean books for their children. All four mothers began to highly value that their children learn English as they started school and utilized their different types of capital to acquire the school-valued English books. This study sheds light on how immigrant parents can differ in their values and support for their children’s language and literacy development at home. It also highlights the importance of building home-school partnerships to maintain immigrant children’s heritage language and literacy development.

Abstract

This study examines the values and support that four middle-class Korean mothers with different immigrant statuses in the U.S. have for their children’s language and literacy development as presented in Korean or English book selections. The findings show that all mothers wanted their children to develop the Korean language. However, depending on their immigrant statuses and experiences, the mothers have different values in regard to their children’s developing Korean language skills. These differing values influence providing Korean books for their children. All four mothers began to highly value that their children learn English as they started school and utilized their different types of capital to acquire the school-valued English books. This study sheds light on how immigrant parents can differ in their values and support for their children’s language and literacy development at home. It also highlights the importance of building home-school partnerships to maintain immigrant children’s heritage language and literacy development.
