Validated Language exposure questionnaires for children growing up in a multilingual context

Fri Sep 12 09:01:34 UTC 2014

Dear Cristina,

During the European Cost Action IS0804 on bilingualism and SLI, a
questionnaire was created largely inspired from the questionnaire created
by Johanne Paradis.
This questionnaire was tested in various countries and publication on it
are already available or going to be published.
It exists in several different languages including English :

Carolyn Letts from Newcastle participated to the Cost action and can give
you more information about it I think.

Best,
