language is not readily available there? The ability to speak English in a setting where the
language is not readily available there, is not as easy as people thinl:. Moreover, it becomes a

technology develops very rapidly, proficiency in English, in particular, speaking skill is
highly demanded. Increasingly, every year international students from Asian countries such
as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia continue their study in English speaking
countries such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand,
and Australia. Their family such as their wife or their husband as well as their children goes
with them for some years to live in an English speaking country. This study investigates a set
of efforts concerning the ability of those children to sustain their spoken language in a
country where the English language is not there after returning back from an English
speaking background. This study employs obsavation and interview to obtain the data.
