This current research is to explore parents’ language attitudes towards languages and maintenance of heritage language and to find out the efforts of maintaining heritage language and its supporting and inhibiting factors. In this research, a questionnaire and semi-structured interview were employed to collect data. There were 62 respondents, consisting of 37 males and 25 females coming from eleven provinces in Indonesia. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents by both electronic and direct systems. Respondents were asked to fill in the questionnaires. Interviews were conducted to some respondents. The findings of this current research reveal that most parents show positive attitudes towards languages and the maintenance of heritage language. The results also indicate that there were some factors supporting the maintenance of heritage language, including parents’ attitudes and roles, community, school, family, daily practices, and culture. In addition, there were a number of factors inhibiting to the maintenance of heritage language such as parents’ attitudes and roles, community, school, family, external culture, and technological advancements. In terms of the efforts to maintain the heritage language, the results show that the language should be taught in the families and at schools, and should be used for social interactions and in traditional and ceremonial events.

This paper seeks to explore how Arab immigrant children view Arabic, English and Arabic-English bilingualism. Data for the study were collected through narrative interviews and observations with a group of 10 Arabic speaking immigrant children living with their parents in Auckland, New Zealand. Analysis of the data indicated that the children had positive attitudes towards Arabic, English, and bilingualism in Arabic and English. Despite their awareness of their inferior Arabic skills and preference for using English, Arabic maintenance was regarded as important for maintaining contacts with parents and extended families overseas and preserving religious identity. The children also held positive attitudes towards English and bilingualism. The majority of them said that they found English to be easier to learn and use than Arabic in their English-dominant environment. The importance of English was reinforced by such instrumental reasons as school success and communicating with members of the wider community. Similarly, the children had positive attitudes towards being bilingual in Arabic and English, and articulated a number of practical advantages such as the ability to communicate more widely and elevated self-esteem.
