Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine parental involvement of teaching Shanghainese in Shanghai kindergartens and to recommend the further promotion of parental involvement, in efforts to maintain and develop minority languages or Chinese dialects in China. Case study approach was used and Qing Kindergarten was the school chosen for this study. The results suggested that parental involvement play a significant role in promoting the teaching of minority languages or Chinese dialects at schools. However, there is much more that needs to be done for schools to enhance parental involvement, such as the increasing quality contacts, establishing a stronger relationship with parents, soliciting and responding to parents’ suggestions and concerns, and empowering parents.
