本文分析了直接和间接的早期父母投资对3-5岁的土耳其移民和德国本土儿童的德语发展的影响。由于土耳其父母的德语水平平均低于本国父母，因此假设土耳其儿童不能像德国儿童那样从家庭内部活动中获益（例如，父母向孩子阅读的频率）。出于同样的原因，家庭以外的活动（例如，参加游戏小组）可能对他们获得德语技能特别重要。用于实证分析的是“学前教育和移民儿童的教育职业”项目的数据，其中包括一年内对儿童德语词汇的重复测量。它表明，德国儿童可以从家庭内的活动比土耳其儿童更多的利润，而相反的是真正的家庭外的活动。与土耳其样本的其他分析表明，更高频率的家庭内的活动，提高土耳其儿童的德语词汇，只有在他们的父母有一个良好的德语命令的条件。调查结果表明，家庭外活动是促进移徙儿童发展第二语言的一种非常有效的手段。
This paper analyses the effects of direct and indirect early parental investments on the German-language development of 3–5-year-old children of Turkish immigrants and native German children. Since Turkish parents are on average less proficient in German than native parents, it is hypothesised that Turkish children cannot profit as much as German children from activities inside the family (e.g., frequency of parental reading to child). For the same reason, activities outside the family (e.g., attendance at playgroups) might then be of special importance for their acquisition of German-language skills. Used for the empirical analyses are the data of the project ‘Preschool Education and Educational Careers among Migrant Children’, which includes a repeated measure of children’s German vocabulary over a one-year period. It is demonstrated that German children can profit more than Turkish children from activities inside the family, while the opposite is true regarding activities outside the family. Additional analyses with the Turkish sample show that a higher frequency of activities inside the family improves Turkish children’s German vocabulary only under the condition that their parents have a good command of German. The findings indicate that activities outside the family are a very effective means of fostering development of the second language among migrant children.
