LETTER TO FAMILIES

 

Dear Hungarian-American Family:

 

We are conducting research that delves deep into the literacy practices of Hungarian-American families who intend to raise bilingual children. With this research, our goal is to shed light on the maintenance of the Hungarian language in the United States, and share ideas for helping children become bilingual and bicultural.

 

We would like to encourage you to participate in an on-line survey. The survey includes questions about your family’s experiences and practices with the Hungarian language. The survey has demographic questions, statements about the family views and efforts in maintaining the Hungarian language and five open-ended questions. The survey is available both in Hungarian and English languages. It takes approximately 30-40 minutes to fill out. When you start the survey, please complete it; the program does not allow you to save and return to finish it.

 

We are looking for parent-participants who meet the following four criteria:

1.      **at least one parent is a native speaker of the Hungarian language;

2.      **the family (at least one parent and one child) uses the Hungarian language to some extent for everyday communication;

3.     ** the family/parent has at least one child between 3 and 18 years of age; and

4.    **  the family has lived in the USA at least for three years.

 

If you are interested and you/your family meets the four criteria, please go to the following website

Please copy and paste the link into your browser.

 

 

Your participation in the survey is anonymous and on the first page of the survey you can find more information about the study. The survey is available until May 31^st, 2013.

 

We will highly appreciate if you decide to participate and contribute to a better understanding the status of the Hungarian language in the United States.

 

Sincerely,
