Abstract

Expanded research is needed on how the home environment shapes bilingual proficiency in young children exposed to a different language at home than in early childhood education and care settings. This study examined whether variation in language use with parents, language proficiency, and home literacy environments reflect bilingual profiles. Participants included 320 Norwegian dual language learners (aged 22–68 months) with diverse language backgrounds. Parental surveys assessed language use, first language (L1) proficiency and home literacy environment. Standardized tests assessed second language (L2) proficiency. Latent profile analysis revealed three profiles: (1) more L2 use, higher L2 proficiency and higher L2 home literacy environment; (2) more L1 use, higher L1 proficiency and lower home literacy environments for both languages; and (3) more L1 use, higher proficiency in L1 and L2, and higher home literacy environments for both languages. Profiles differed in L1 distribution, maternal residency length in Norway, and maternal education.

家庭读写环境、语言使用和熟练程度：年轻学习者的双语概况

对于家庭环境如何影响幼儿的双语能力，需要进行更广泛的研究。这些幼儿在家庭环境中接触的语言与在幼儿教育和护理环境中接触的语言不同。本研究考察了语言使用与父母、语言熟练程度和家庭文化环境的差异是否反映了双语特征。参与者包括来自不同语言背景的320名挪威双语学习者（年龄在22-68个月）。父母调查评估了语言使用、第一语言（L1）熟练程度和家庭文化环境。标准化测试评估第二语言（L2）能力。隐性特征分析显示：(1)二语使用越多，二语熟练程度越高，二语家庭读写环境越高；(2)更多的母语使用、更高的母语熟练度和更低的家庭文化环境；(3)更多地使用第一语言，更高的第一语言和第二语言熟练程度，以及更高的两种语言家庭读写环境。在L1分布、母亲在挪威居住的时间长短和母亲的受教育程度等方面存在差异。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
