This study explored the Family Language Policy of the Kurdish families living in the Republic of Türkiye with regard to the transmission of Kurdish to their children. In order to uncover the Kurdish parents' language ideologies, language practices and language management strategies, Spolsky's Tripartite FLP Model was used as a theoretical framework. Multiple case studies were employed as a qualitative research method and the data were gathered from 7 Kurdish families through semi-structured face to face interviews, observations and field notes. The data were firstly analyzed according to the FLP model and later, thematic analysis was carried out in all data to identify the recurrent and significant themes. The results showed that the Kurdish parents considered Kurdish as an essential part of their life and accordingly made significant efforts for the transmission of the language. Preserving the heritage language, perceiving Kurdish as a marker for ethnic identity, communication with the extended family, espeacially with the monolingual Kurdish grandparents and past language experiences emerged as the driving forces behind the parents' FLP. The parental declared language ideologies were congruent with the reported language practices. Moreover, in order to maintain Kurdish in family conversations, the Kurdish parents employed various internal and external control for language management.

Foreign language medium instruction and bilingualism the analysis of a myth
Kırkıcı, Bilal (2004-01-01)
The present study discusses the potential effects of learning and using more than one language (i.e., bilingualism) on the bilingual child in relation to the prevailing discussion on foreign language-medium instruction in Turkey. It is shown that, in contrast to popular beliefs in the society and findings obtained in the early stages of the 20th century, bilingualism does not appear to be an obstacle to the bilingual child, but may act as a facilitating trait in many respects, including the bilingual child'...
