Abstract
Family represents the first phase of socialization process of children. Formation of identity and personality and
socialization process of migrant children who live in a multicultural society depends directly on sensibility shown
towards heritage language. Language used at home nourishes self-respect of the children and brings happiness to
them. Turkish migrant students have the opportunity to learn Turkish at primary and secondary level beside home
thanks to the multicultural education policy in Australia. However, most Turkish migrants would head towards to
learn target language rather than heritage language in order to be part of the society and not to feel isolated.
Language acquisition and development show differences from one generation to another. Families should pay extra
attention to use heritage language at their homes to minimize the language loss among first, second and third
generations. This research includes parents who enrolled their children to Saturday Turkish Schools in the state of
Victoria, Australia. The aim is to identify families’ approaches and expectations towards Turkish class and their
contribution to the acquisition of mother tongue of their children. Data that was obtained from Turkish parents is
analysed using descriptive and content analysis methods. In the research which is supported with graphs and
tables extra attention is given to the identification of the relation of causes and effects between data.

Abstract
Aile, çocukların sosyalleşme sürecinin ilk aşamasını temsil etmektedir. Çok kültürlü toplumlarda yaşayan göçmen çocuklarının sosyalleşmesi, kimlik ve kişilik kazanması ana dile gösterilen özenle doğrudan bağlantılıdır. Evde kullanılan dil, çocuğun benliğini geliştirir ve mutluluğunu sağlar. Avustralya'da yaşayan Türk göçmenler, Avustralya'da uygulanan çok kültürlü eğitim politikası sayesinde ev dışında da -ilk ve orta öğretim düzeyinde- Türkçe öğrenme imkânına sahiptir. Ancak Türk göçmenlerin çoğu, topluma uyum sağlamak ve toplumun diğer üyelerinden ayrı tutulmamak için ana dilden ziyade hedef dile yönelmektedir. Dil edinimi ve gelişimi, iki dilli çocuklarda nesilden nesile farklılık gösterir. Nesiller arası dil kayıplarının en aza indirgenmesi için ailelerin ana dillerini evlerinde kullanmaya özen göstermeleri gerekir. Avustralya'nın Viktorya eyaletinde yaşayan ve çocuklarını cumartesi Türk okullarına kaydettiren velileri kapsayan bu araştırmada, velilerin Türkçe derslerine yaklaşım tarzları, beklentileri ve çocuklarının dil edinimine katkıları tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Türk ailelerinden toplanan veriler betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi tekniğinden faydalanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Grafik ve tablolarla desteklenen çalışmada, veriler arasında neden sonuç ilişkisinin kurulmasına özen gösterilmiştir.
