Processing Skills In Early Sequential Bilinguals
Characterize
Assessment
are
Tradition Assessment: Attempts to describe what is known in a given language
effective
Language Processing Measures (NPT) better diagnostic tools
Implement Effective Intervention
are
Facilitate gains (perceptual & attentional skills)
Increase automaticity of expressive language
Increase Verbal Memory
goal
increase child's speed accuracy, efficiency in processing language during real_time, real-life, and communicative interactions
Early Sequential Bilinguals
are
L1 Birth
L2 Childhood (2-12 yrs. old)
Language processing involves basic cognitive mechanisms that are vital for efficient language learning
such as
perception
memory
attention
emotion
Language Learning Stages
involves
1st stage: Learning words and Rules
2nd stage: Dependent on cognitive abilities, using things from 1st stage and applying to 2nd stage. (speaking with increased speed & efficiency)
Stages can overlap = complex
Language Proficiency
are
Balanced Bilingualism L1/L2
Dominant Language L1 above/L2 below
Specific Language Impairment (SLI)
Traits
Morphological weakness/school
Poor discourse/academic skills
Smaller Vocab/Preschool
Overall, difficulty understanding/ creating language
Experimental Studies concluded
that
SLI children from culturally diverse population are sensitive to non-word repetition tasks (NRT) such as sounds& verbal working memory.
NRT useful to identifying or ruling out SLI in SP./Eng. Bilinguals
outcome
child will perform poorly on knowledge-dependent. Something wrong with language learning system (impairment)
L2 child in process of learning has an intact language-learning system. (basic cognitive functions). May perform poorly on language task relative to monolingual same-age peers because (was never taught to identify animals)
Research finding / basic lexical word skills L1/L2
are
L2 (English) word gain than L1(Spanish). L2 emerged as the stronger language.
Considerable variability within each child (L1, L2)
Significant increases in word production, comprehension and fluency
Results
Gains in speed, accuracy, or control of the lexical systems across development & language experience.
Theories
are
A product of individual experience interacting with general cognitive mechanisms
A dynamic system in which there is constant interplay between the languages (positive or negative transfer)
