In the current era characterized by greater population mobility, an increasing number of children are brought up in the family environment where two or more languages are used, leading to the occurrence of family multilingualism. Taking family as a community of practice, this paper examines the infl uence of family environment and parents’ language ideology on early bilingual language acquisition, particularly in a context where the minority language garners no community support. First, the notion of language socialization is discussed and the language choice patterns in the family are reviewed. The paper then examines various applied linguistic approaches to studying family bilingualism in order to reveal the factors that contribute to fostering bilingualism and multilingualism.The studies employing surveys and in-depth interviews of bilingual families are discussed, and the role of parental language ideology in the process is highlighted. Finally, the micro-analyses of parent-child conversations are explored to demonstrate the parental discourse strategies that may stimulate active bilingualism among young children.
