Family language policy (FLP) and language use in different domains and relationships wasinvestigated in thirteen Israeli-Arab students enrolled in an institution of higher education inIsrael. Participants came from Arabic FLPs, communities, and schools. The study wascompleted through semi-structured interviews. Our research objectives were to investigate theFLP of the sample and a possible presence of differences in the ideologies concerning theirparent-led FLP and their future family's FLP, among other things. Our findings point to apossible change in ideologies toward the instrumentally oriented FLP which incorporatesHebrew language to a greater degree. Further investigations should focus on effects ofgenerational FLP change on identity and related psychological factors.
