Cultural and Language differences in addition to differences in educational attainment separating families and school staff can make communication and family participation in school activities hard. For instance, survey data show that parents who do not speak English at home are less likely to take part in school-based activities and more likely to participate in fewer activities over the course of the school year thus causing the students grades to fall (Nina & Lu, 2012)

Bover highlights the importance of the family as the significance to education. When those in the home get to know those at school, the child will benefit (Ortmeier-Hooper, 2008)
With that said, the selection process will indeed be purposive. As stated by purposive sampling as explained by Chein (Pracht, 2007) makes the point that the researcher wants to discover, recognize, and gain insight
Bilingual students have not just the ability but also the right to be ready to face the challenges of current society. Disapproval of bilingual education is not all groundless (Bialystok, 2001)
Without unambiguous goals for bilingual education, disorder and dissatisfaction among staff and community are probable results. A diverse study of a group of people in California and another in the Midwest show the significance of lucid goals (Hakuta, 2009)
Such students repeatedly become angry and troublesome (Brisk, 1991; McCollum, 1993). "One thinks what the achievements of such students would be if their energies were open encouraged by an environment in which they no longer wanted to deal traditions for school learning" (Heath, 2003)
According to his father, Louis learned to speak both languages as a native-speaking child would -- he showed very few signs of interference between languages; nor did his bilingualism have a deleterious effect on his cognitive development. His development seems to have been quite normal and it has been reported that by the age of 15 he had equal fluency in both languages (Weinreich, 1953), preferring French for technology and German for literature
It is also important to have DVD players with overhead projectors and the projection screen in the second language classes. These can be used to show videos of conversations that contain lessons beneficial to the class (Benjamin Cabrera, et al
Different learners have different rate and therefore some learners learn a second language very quickly while others fail to take advantage from the opportunity. According to the John Carroll's (Carroll, 1981) theory, the language aptitude is comprised of following several abilities which are independent from each other: 1
The study also showed that the old learners do not have advantage for the long-term because the children group taught second language for 10 months was ahead of the adult group. Some authors have therefore reported child learners for having advantage of learning quickly (Cochrane, 1980) while most experts have not found any differences in the rate of learning second language between the children and adults
3).The learning style has nine different aspects of learning second language (Ehrman and Oxford, 1990)
According to Dornyei (1996), the fundamental theories of motivation just explain the answer of the question as why humans behaved in a particular way. Role of Motivation in Boosting Aptitude Since last several decades, the researchers of the social psychology have thrown light on the importance of motivation for learning second language (Gardner and Clement 1990)

Therefore, it is important to examine these issues head-on by gathering relevant feedback from students who have experience with these programs to determine what was effective in helping them learn Chinese (and what was not) and what factors compelled them to discontinue (or continue) their studies in the Chinese language and the research methodology developed for this purpose is discussed further below. (4) Research Methodology There are a number of social research methods available to the qualitative researcher, including phenomenology, hermeneutics, historical methodology, ethnography, case studies, grounded theory and action research (Burton & Steane, 2004)
Asking children to compile the emigration patterns of each others' families; and, 6. Developing narrative stories of family histories (Corson, 1999, p
199). These theories with be discussed with special reference to the motivational factors that affect L2 acquisition (Dornyei, 2001; Gliksman, Gardner, & Smythe, 1982
In this section, the researcher relates theories of L2 teaching and learning (Stern, 1983, p.1) to heritage language teaching (Duff, 2008, p
In addition, within the population of visible minorities, the growth rate of specific groups is expected to differ, leading to increased diversification. In 1991, Chinese, Blacks, and Indo - Pakistanis accounted for the largest percentage of visible minorities in Canada (Esses & Gardner, 1996)
