Parents who come from different language backgrounds often hope
that their children will be able to speak the languages of both
their parents. In families where this is the goal, the 'one
parent-one language' approach (Ronjat, 1913) is widely used. The
'one parent-one language' approach is relatively effective in
promoting active bilingualism among young children in a society
where there is little support for the minority language. However,
there is a general perception that maintenance of the minority
language into middle childhood and beyond is difficult as during
this period children's contacts with the outside world expand and
the input in the majority language increases. This book examines
the sociolinguistic environment and the nature of parental input
for children from Japanese-Australian families, who have been
exposed to Japanese and English through the 'one parent-one
language' approach in Australia. The research on which the book is
based identifies factors which account for successful and
unsuccessful cases of Japanese language maintenance of children
from those families. The major part of this study involves
discourse analysis of the conversations between four Japanese
mothers and their primary school aged children based on
audio-recordings over a period of 21 months. This qualitative
approach is complemented by a quantitative study interviewing 25
Japanese mothers about their children's language experience.
