Abstract

This article mainly discusses racial discrimination and whether parents’ attitudes will lose their mother tongue, at the same time, it also includes the study of whether children’s learning of their mother tongue will affect their learning of a second language at the same time, so as to draw the attention of the immigrant family to put more focus on their children’s mother tongue. This paper also discussed whether the children should give up learning his mother tongue for the sake of a second language. Many countries and schools advocate that bilingual children should be better integrated into the local language by abandoning their mother tongue, which is totally unreasonable. It is disrespectful that schools cannot deprive immigrant children of the right to learn their own language and culture. Studies have shown that bilingual children who learn their mother tongue can learn the school language better in school, and bilingual children will have a deeper understanding of the language than monolingual children. It is unwise to abandon a kid’s mother tongue to learn a new language. What is more, children who learn bilingualism at the same time will have a deeper foundation in language, reading, and writing.
