The research highlights the complexities of language maintenance, emphasizing the role of social interactions and emotional connections in fostering a multilingual environment. As digital platforms become integral to daily communication, they can both support and hinder the use of home languages. The model aims to provide insights into how families negotiate their linguistic identities while adapting to the pervasive influence of technology.
