Maintaining Migrant Languages

Imagine that you have just moved to Edmonton from a part of the world in which English is not the dominant language. You were able to take English as a Second Language courses in your previous home, and you are fairly comfortable speaking it. You have two children, ages two and six, when you arrive. They only speak your home language. The older child will have to go to school, while the younger child will need to have care during the day while you work. You obviously want them to learn English, but you are also concerned that they maintain their ability to speak their home language. What factors might you consider in deciding where to send your children to school and choosing a care provider? What barriers and limitations would you face in making these choices? What factors do you think might lead to them losing their ability to speak and use their original language? Why is it important to you that they maintain this language?
