How do we qualify and work with a bilingual population when:

• The tests we use are not normed on this population• My gut feeling doesn’t match the test results

Learner Objectives• Participants will:

• Understand typical speech and language development in bilinguals

• Identify examples of pre-linguistic speech and language behaviors (monolinguals and bilinguals)g gList similarities in typical monolingual and bilingual speech development

• Classify errors of bilinguals as typical, second-language influenced or atypical

• Apply clinical judgment to assessment tools• Develop assessment plans for bilingual students• Determine appropriate language of intervention,

targets, and goals

“For adults, the idea of an “uncontaminated” monolingual

is probably a fiction.” Ellen Bialystok

Speech SummarySpeech Summary

So what do we know:• Building blocks are the same for both monolinguals and

bilinguals, and across languages• General guidelines for intelligibility are the same • Expect some cross-linguistic influence in speech

production where the two languages differ• Bilinguals develop at about the same rate as other children• Phonological processes are examples of typical

developmental errors in monolinguals and bilinguals

“No language is immune to the intrusion from the barrage of words and phrases

that rise out of one language…and deposit themselves in the lexicon of

another.” Ellen Bialystok

Fact or Myth?• Children code switch between languages because they g g y

don’t know either language well.• Raising children with two languages will confuse them.• Parents should not use more than one language with

their child.• Children with language impairment should not learn

more than one language at a time. See www.nethelp.no/cindy/myth.html and

www.spanglishbaby.com for responses to many myths about bilingualism.

• 0-1 month – crying and vegetative sounds• 2-3 months eye gaze• 6-9 months-- joint attention• 9-12 months -- using gestures• 12-15 months--following simple commands• 18 months – symbolic play, pretend play• 24 months – sequencing of activities• 36 months – episodic play

Bilingual children develop early vocabulary at the same rate as monolingual children (Pearson, 1993).

Early language milestones are similar (single words lexical spurt 2-word phrases)(single words, lexical spurt, 2 word phrases) (Pearson and Fernandez, 2001).

Conceptual scores are similar (Pearson, 1998).

Vocabulary:• 12 months – first words (usually labeling familiar

objects, actions, and properties in child’s environment)

• 15 months - 4-6-word vocabulary• 18 months – 20-50-word vocabulary• 24 months – 200-300 word vocabulary• 36 months - roughly 1000 words

Overextensions• “dog” for all four-legged animals• “it’s out of ink” to describe anything that doesn’t work

Underextensions• “blankee” is only one particular blanket• “Crayon” only refers to red crayons, the rest are colors

TYPICAL DEVELOPMENTAL

ERRORS

The effects of Spanish on English can result in errors in:

• Verb errors (especially unmarked present for past tense)• Content word errors (e.g., “bird” for “owl”)• Prepositions (e.g., “put it in the table”)• Pronouns (can be dropped in Spanish, but not in English)• Word order (“the flag red”, instead of “the red flag”)

SECOND-LANGUAGE

INFLUENCE

English-speaking parents use more nouns• First words of English speakers typically nouns

(Gentner, 1982; Nelson, 1973) M d i Chi ki t b Mandarin Chinese-speaking parents use more verbs

• First words of their children are nouns and verbs (Tardif, 1995)

Korean-speaking parents talk about activities more• First words of their children are nouns and verbs

What do children talk about with their families at home?

What do children talk about with their peers and teachers at school?p

If they use different languages in these two settings, what should we expect?

High correlation between language exposure and vocabulary production1

For bilingual toddlers 30% of vocabulary are translation equivalents2

Young school-age bilinguals produce same # of Young school-age bilinguals produce same # of category items in Spanish and English BUT 70% are unique to one language3

The frog jump out when he asleep and the dog was asleep.

He was findin’ his frog.

And the dog said, I found, find my frog.

I’m mad.

Hello frog X.

• Problems associated with all assessment tools• We need to go beyond the tool in assessment• Ongoing assessment across many daily routines is critical• Exploring both/all languages is essential.
