Language Maintenance Among Vietnamese-Australian Students.
Ninnes, Peter
Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v19 n2 p115-38 1996
Examines factors influencing language maintenance among secondary school students of Vietnamese ethnic background. Students' Vietnamese language ability and frequency of Vietnamese language use were evaluated and correlated with demographic, cultural, social, and attitudinal factors. Length of residence in Australia was more influential in language maintenance than ethnic identity or attitudes. (Author/JL)
