It has been foundthat, within 28 months after their arrival, theamount of Mandarin Chinese used in these families isdecreasing sharply; In terms of daily communicationfunction, English is taking over Mandarin Chinese;Parental interactive strategy also tends to be movingtowards bilingual or even English. These areimportant signs of language shifting. Actions need tobe taken for mother tongue maintenance.
