Abstract

With a large population in this group, Chinese diaspora in the United States is of great significance to investigate in terms of their identity and heritage language. As identity can be formed, transformed, and negotiated through language learning, this essay explores the impact of Chinese Heritage language on the identity of the Chinese community in the United States from three perspectives: CHL education, CHL proficiency, and CHL in the family. Findings from this research demonstrate that all of the three aspects exert an impact on their identity as Chinese.
