영문 초록

Much research that contributes to understanding how bilingual children become bi or multi literate has discovered that language shift and language loss are widespread and heritage language is usually not maintained or rarely developed. In fact, a lack of knowledge about how bi or multiliteracy is practiced in home milieu has contributed to the difficulties for educators to embrace bi and multi literacies in school settings. This article identifies the existing literature on bilingual research by exploring the Korean-English biliteracy practices in the home setting in the areas of status of English and Korean, use of target, native, and national language, life in the U.S. the role of Korean culture on target language learning and culture. The researcher examines how the bilingual student uses and keeps the target language (TL) and native language (NL) at the same time in his everyday life. Finally, the researcher gives suggestions to keep both target and native languages.
