Abstract
Even
though
studies
have
shown
numerous
cognitive
and
social
benefits
from
early
foreign
language
education
,
Foreign
Languages
in
Elementary
School
(FLES)
is
still
a
recurrent
topic
of
debate
. The
key
issues
involved
with
FLES
focus
on
inconsistent
program
designs
,
interference
with
core
subjects
, and
varying
attitudes
toward
early
foreign
language
instruction
. This
research
project
examines
parental
involvement
in and
attitudes
toward
a
district's
newly
added
FLES
program
. The
overall
qualitative
and
quantitative
results
of a
survey
explain
how
parents
of the
district
agree
that
early
Foreign
Language
(FL)
education
is
important
,
however
, they are not
positively-actively
involved
in their
child's
FL
experience
. A
more
profound
look
at
qualitative
data
through
several
one-way
ANOVAs
(Analysis
of
Variance)
illustrates
that
families
speaking
two
languages
at
home
have
better
attitudes
toward
and are
more
involved
in
FLES
. This
may
be a
result
of
heritage
language
preservation
or
prior
knowledge
of a
FL
. On a
local
level
, the
findings
reveal
that the
FLES
program
was
well
received
, and
therefore
should be
maintained
,
yet
must
undergo
structural
changes
to
address
the
need
for
increased
parental
involvement
. On a
non-local
scale
, the
findings
reveal
that
although
FLES
in the
USA
has
become
a
more
widely
accepted
practice
, there
is
social
and
cultural
resistance
to
early
foreign
language
learning
related
to
parental
involvement
and
administration
. As
we
continue
to
see
an
increased
number
of
FLES
programs
in
our
nation's
schools
,
it
is
important
to
understand
the
role
of
parent
perceptions
and
involvement
in
creating
a
locally
supported
language
program
and to
integrate
successful
practices
of
FLES
programs
abroad
into
our
own
educational
system
.
