近二十年來，臺灣男性與東南亞女性通婚的人數越來越多，「新移民子女」的教育問題逐漸成為人們關注的議題。本研究以嘉義縣17所幼稚園大班152位學童為研究對象，以「修訂學前兒童語言障礙評量表」為研究工具，以線性迴歸分析作為分析策略，探討三個問題：一、跨國婚姻之子女與本國人婚配之子女，在國語的語言理解能力是否有顯著差異。二、跨國婚姻之子女與本國人婚配之子女，在國語的口語表達能力上是否有顯著差異。三、造成本國通婚的幼兒與跨國婚姻者的幼兒之間語言能力差異之因素。 分析結果顯示：一、跨國婚姻之子女與本國人婚配之子女，在國語的語言理解能力、口語表達能力，均無顯著差異。二、「母親國籍」、「母親中文能力」對於幼兒的語言能力均無影響力。三、作為主要照顧幼兒者，母親的教育程度對於幼兒的語言能力具有重要意義。 In the past two decades, there is great growing number of intermarriages for Taiwanese male by marriage with female in Southeast Asia.
