The Education of Heritage Languages in Internationally-Married Families: Based on Failure Process Analysis Using M-GTA

A qualitative analysis on the barriers of heritage language education and their organic relationship was conducted in this study. The barriers found include <economic value preference>, <pursuit of realistic and practical identity>, <priority in current studies>, as well as the circumstances of <lack of fellowship with homeland families> and <inactive utilization of cultural assets>. The failure process of heritage language education does not seem to have a vicious cycle that corresponds to the virtuous cycle in the success process. Rather it is the strong assimilation intentions of the married immigrant women that affect overall thoughts, behaviors, and language use in their families.
