Özet

Pew Hispanik Merkezi / Kaiser Family Foundation tarafından gerçekleştirilen 2018 Ulusal Latin Anketi'nden elde edilen verileri kullanan, bu araştırmacı Latinler’in İngilizce hakkındaki algılarını, bununla ilgili olarak eğitim derecelerine de dil tercihleri üzerine bir rapor sunmaktadır. dil tercihlerinin yanı sıra. Bu deneysel olmayan nicel çalışma, tüm Amerika’yı kapsayan ve Latinler’in dil tercihlerine odaklanan ilk çalışmalardan biri olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışmada katılımcı olarak 18 yaş ve üstü oldukça rastgele sınıflandırılmış 2,288 Latin kökenli yetişkin (1,041 erkek ve 1,091 kadın) bulunmaktadır. Bu katılımcılar toplam 48 eyalettendir. Sonuçlar, katılımcıların en son aldıkları eğitim ile onların İngilizce yeterliliği arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir; ancak, katılımcıların İngilizce’yi İspanyolca’ya göre daha çok tercih etmeleri ile Amerikan bireylerinin samimiyeti/yakınlığı konusundaki algıları arasında bir ilişki yoktu. Bu sonuçlara dayanarak çalışmanın sonunda çıkarımlar ve gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler sunulmaktadır.
