ABSTRACT

This study attempted to investigate variables(mother’s Korean abilities and association variables) related to Korean abilities of children in multi-cultural family. The subjects of this study were 24 children(mean of chronological age: 5years 2month and boy 10, girl 14) and 24 their mothers in multi-cultural family. We used for all subjects the questionnaire and formal language tests to identify variables. The results were as follows. First, the Korean abilities of mothers in multi-cultural family were very low. And the Korean abilities of children in multi-cultural family were lower than that of children in single-cultural family. Second, the Korean abilities(receptive vocabulary ability, expressive vocabulary and percent of correct consonants) of children in multi-cultural family were in a significantly positive correlation with the Korean abilities(understanding about syntactic meaning and percent of correct consonants) of mothers. Third, the chronological age and father’s educational level of children in multi-cultural family were in a significantly positive correlation with their Korean abilities(understanding about syntactic meaning and percent of correct consonants).
