| Abstract | This descriptive study documents the home literacy experience of Korean immigrant families. By exploring the impact immigration has upon individuals in a new culture, this study investigates the home literacy environment and practices of five Korean immigrant families in a suburban city in Los Angeles County, California. This study adopts a socio-cultural constructivist perspective to explain home literacy practices and parent-child interactions of Korean immigrant families. A mixed research method approach, as well as cross-case analysis methods, provided a detailed and comprehensive description of the daily struggles in literacy experiences for these five families. The results of this study revealed the nature of home literacy practices of Korean immigrants to be complex and multi-faceted; 1) there are strong connections between the child's literacy learning and the family's cultural values regarding knowledge and literacy; and 2) immigrant families have experienced challenges arising from cultural and linguistic differences between their home country and their new country. In addition, results suggest that family literacy research should be sensitive to cultural differences in childrearing practices and should recognize already existing literacy traditions and practices. It should also investigate and reconcile these differences, rather than providing literacy methods that simply resemble the current education system of this country. |
