The rapid globalisation has led many school aged children to face the difficult task of acquiring
literacy skills in two or more languages. In the literature, it has been repeatedly pointed out that
choices parents make in their child upbringing affect the linguistic developments of such children in
various ways. However, these studies focused on the overall trend and the detailed strategies and
beliefs that parents use in their child upbringing are yet to be explored. This study aims at describing
such strategies and beliefs that parents have in order to support the development of biliteracy in a
qualitative manner, by means of interviews to four mothers of Japanese-English bilingual students
acquiring biliteracy at an advanced level. Through SCAT analysis of the interview data, six concepts
were observed across the families, which are hoped to provide some guidance in the child upbringing
of bi/multi-lingual children.
