Non-native parents and child's acqusition of English in Japan

[Mei Lin]

To whom it may concern,

I have an MA student from Japan who is interested in doing her 
dissertation on bilingual first language acquisition in non-native 
parent families.  She has found three families in Japan.  Both 
parents are beginners of English, but are willing to teach English to 
their children of three years old 10-half hour per day for three 
months using storied, rhymes or songs.

I would like to hear from those who have done or know any of studies 
of this kind so that my student can get some ideas of how to measure 
the language acquisition.

Thanks

Mei
