The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of learning English and becoming bilingual among 1.5-generation Chinese American young adults. More specifically, the study was interested in examining the influences the bilingual experience may have on the relationship to their heritage language and culture and on their ethnic identity development. This study used a phenomenological approach, which allowed for a deeper, more nuanced understanding of participants' subjective experiences. Ten participants, six males and four females ranging in age from 19 to 25, participated in face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. All participants emigrated from Mainland China between the ages of 4 to 9. The results of this study demonstrated the pervasive experience of heritage language proficiency loss, which also encompassed other perceived losses including a sense of disconnection with one's heritage culture and ethnic community and decreased understanding and intimacy in familial relationships. Participants also described the duality of their 1.5-generational status, which either enhanced the sense of disconnection by cultivating a feeling of being stuck in between the gap of two different worlds, or acted as a bridge allowing connection to both cultures. Overall, the results highlighted how language is a significant organizer of individuals' experiences, playing a meaningful role in participants' adaptation, in their negotiation of two unique cultures, and in their ethnic identity formation. These findings are especially critical when considering the threat of continuous decline in heritage language proficiency faced by the Chinese American immigrant population due to increasing English immersion, and the longstanding bias against the bilingual education of young children. As a result, future research that can further clarify the nuances of the complex overlapping variables associated with the intersecting connections between the processes of ethnic identity development, acculturation, and bilingualism is strongly recommended.
