This research aims to explore the adjustment issues of Vietnamese new immigrant children in primary schools in Taichung City. Through purposive sampling, the researcher conducted interviews and observations with thirteen children of Vietnamese new immigrants in four elementary schools. The researcher also interviewed their homeroom teachers and classmates, and analyses the data with qualitative method. The research results are concluded as follows: 1. If language problems are solved, children of new immigrants can generally adapt well whether in life or at school. Besides, from the aspect of classmates, students primarily have the same attitude towards children of new immigrants as the ordinary ones. 2. In terms of learning motivation, children of new immigrants are no different from Taiwanese students; additionally, some homeroom teachers even think that children of new immigrants are more motivated. 3. Children of new immigrants growing up in Taiwan have a common sense of identity with Taiwan and consider themselves Taiwanese, regardless of whether they were born in Taiwan or not. 4. Despite the fact that the government has a welfare policy for new immigrant families, the promotion of it is insufficient and the actual effect of implementation is also implicit. Also, most of the homeroom teachers believe that though Vietnamese courses in schools are being promoted, students' willingness to choose them is still low. Based on the findings, in the end, this research puts forward relevant suggestions as reference for schools and future research. |
