<p class="ydpd573c921MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">This talk
will examine the language use of Southeast Asian marriage-migrant mothers in
rural South Korea with their mixed-heritage children, and the challenges
related to heritage language (HL) transmission. Drawing on in-depth interviews
with ten women, the study finds that they encountered multiple obstacles when
attempting to teach the HL to their children due to conflicting language
practices and ideologies within their three-generation families. The Korean
family members regarded HL learning as a barrier to the children’s success and
discouraged the development of their bilingual and bicultural identities.
Moreover, the migrant women viewed themselves as incapable mothers when they
felt they could not support their children academically. The mothers’ emphasis
on the children’s academic and social success led them to promote Korean at
home. Implications for HL education will be discussed.</span></p>
