Students’ Parents’ Attitudes toward Chinese Heritage Language Maintenance

Abstract

The study aims to explore the Faculty of Letters’ Chinese Students’ parents’ attitude toward heritage language maintenance and the ways they help their children maintain their Chinese heritage language. The participants of this research consist of 33 fathers and 35 mothers. The finding of this study suggests that students’ parents’ weak Chinese competencies hamper the communication in Chinese heritage language with their family members such as children, spouses, siblings, and parents for its maintenance. The findings from this study also indicate that the Chinese students’ parents in the Faculty of Letters show positive attitudes toward their children’s heritage language maintenance and development
