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
