An Examination of the Language Situation of Left-behind Children in the National Rural Revitalisation Focused Help—Taking Youyang as an Example

Abstract

Left-behind children, as the key object of rural revitalization, and their language status are crucial to the improvement of the quality of rural education and the overall revitalization strategy. Taking Youyang County as an example, this study analyses left-behind children's language ability, language use, and language attitudes to derive the factors influencing their development, as well as the conclusions and recommendations, using questionnaires, interviews, observations, and other methods with left-behind children as the objects of investigation. The results will provide strong support for improving language education for left-behind children and promoting rural revitalization.
