Abstract
PURPOSE
The study sought to understand Haitian parents' perspectives on heritage language maintenance with typically developing children.
METHOD
Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 Haitian parents of typically developing children. A thematic analysis was conducted to determine recurring themes.
RESULTS
Participants desired to preserve the heritage language; however, factors such as linguistic and class ideologies of Haiti, xenophobia within the United States, and English monolingualism hindered parents' success in maintaining the heritage language.
CONCLUSION
The findings from this study demonstrate the need for additional research and resources to help support the Haitian community's desire for heritage language maintenance to promote healthy communication practices, decrease language loss, and foster social communication in the home and community.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
