Nguyen Family Nguyen Van Son has worked very hard since he came to this country with his uncle 12 years ago. After graduating from high school near the top of his class, he completed mechanical drafting course at a technical college. He has a good job working for a manufacturing company. His wife Dang Van Binh, an old family friend, came from Vietnam only six years ago and they were married soon after. Her English is still not good, so she takes evening classes. Their three year old son Nguyen Thi Hoang goes to a half-day preschool program because his father is eager for him to become comfortable speaking English with other children. Their baby daughter Le Thi Tuyet is at home with her mother. On weekends, the family spends time with other Vietnamese families, eager for companionship and preserving their memories of Vietnam. None of their neighbors talk much with this family, assuming they cannot speak English. Case Study taken from: Chapter 2, p. 23 Costwicki C (2013) Home School, and Community Relations. Wadsworth Cengage Learning. Nguyen Family Nguyen Van Son has worked very hard since he came to this country with his uncle 12 years ago.
