This book reports the current aspects of children from multilingual
families in Taiwan and describes these children's perceptions
towards their linguistic, academic, and social development from a
survey study and a discourse analysis study. The discourse analysis
study focuses on the narrative developments of children born to
Southeast Asian mothers versus average Taiwanese children across
four grade levels in the elementary school. This book is
significant in four aspects: describing the children with
multilingual family background qualitatively and quantitatively,
including a wide range and a large number of participants,
proposing new analytical approaches for child narrative research,
and compiling applicable classroom activities based on of research
findings. The cultural and linguistic background of the children
described in this book may be of interest to researchers and
educators not only in Chinese-speaking regions, but also in areas
where the phenomenon of multilingual family is becoming common in
the society.
