The purpose of this study was to evaluate phonological awareness by children from a multicultural family and Korean children and compare their applicable abilities of phonological rules. And also comparing correlation of the applicable abilities of phonological rules between children and their mother in multicultural family.

Repeated 3-way ANOVA and the Pearson correlation coefficient was employed to analyze performances between groups.
Four questions were addressed in this study. (a) Are the phonological awareness abilities different according to the phonemic and syllabic units among the three groups?, (b) Are the applicability of phonological rules different according to the countries and whether words had meanings or not?, (c) What are the correlation of applicability of phonological rules between children and their mother of multicultural family, (d) What are the characteristics of phonological rules errors of mother's in multicultural family?
Results from this study were as follows.
Firstly, significant difference was not found in phonological awareness abilities of three groups in phonemic units but significant difference was found in syllabic units. Secondly, Significant differences were found in the applicability of phonological rules among the three groups according to whether words had meanings or not in each rule. Considering the applicability of phonological rules among the groups, a higher level of the applicability of phonological rules was found in control group, the children with mothers came from the Japan was next, and the children with mothers from Philippines in order. Thirdly, the strong correlation between children and their mother was observed in the applicability of phonological rules within the multicultural family.
