Chinese American Students at UIUC: Acquiring a Second Language

Second language acquisition of Asian-American Students at the University of Illinois Campus. Looking to find where they first learned their second language; if it was something learned as a child or learned at an older age. Special focus on code switching when these students interact with others that speak English as well as their second language. Presents the challanges brought to these students on and off Campus. Students share if their second lanugage affects them in positive or negative ways, if it defines part of their culture, and how they feel about being bi-lingual.unpublishedU of I OnlyStudent requested only UIUC access
