Abstract:

The article deals with the issue of bilingual child speakers (Myers-Scotton, Yip, Stephen 2008) in multinational (Braun & Cline 2014) and also mono-national families and highlights the parents´ significance of the bilingual education trends and implications among members of contemporary families. As foreign language acquisition among children is the crucial priority for modern parents when raising the offspring, an interest in bilingual submersion is continuously growing. This study aims to contribute to the debate on conceptual family bilingualism education (Soler, Zabrodskaja, 2017). Besides the general perception of bilingualism together with its popular definitions (Rosjean, 1982, Brutt-Griffler & Varghese, 2004), the family language policy FLP (Schwartz & Verschik 2013, King, Lyn, 2017) has stepped up as a vibrant topic in raising bilingual children research (Shin, 2017). The results gathered from the survey done among 50 families across continents uncover the attitudes and endeavour of monolingual/bilingual parents for their bilingual child second language acquisition. The article also tackles with open sources on a social network such as Facebook, voluntary clubs or educational children groups operating in the society.
