Language acculturation among older Vietnamese refugee adults

The purpose of this study was to examine the English language acculturation among older Vietnamese refugees (aged 40 and over) in a nationwide sample. The findings reveal that age, sex, education in Vietnam, health, and length of residence in the U.S. had some significant relationships with language acculturation. In particular, older Vietnamese people had more problems with language acculturation than their younger counterparts, and Vietnamese women had more language acculturation problems than men.
