| Abstract: |
This study explores how working-class and middle-class immigrant families’ FLP is planned, implemented, and developed from an ecological perspective by focusing on a Chinese immigrant community. Data were mainly from semi-structured interviews and were analyzed thematically. Findings showed that the immigrant families’ FLP can be classified as 1) organized HL learning of middle-class immigrant parents, 2) assimilative ideologies of middle-class immigrant parents, and 3) laissez-faire HL learning of working-class immigrant parents.
