Dear Rita,<br>I attach it to this email. It starts with a series of questions which
will determine which section to fill in. All parents have to fill in
section D anyway, which contains information such as date of birth, SES,
etc. But section B and C are for parents of bilingual kids: one is for
families where both parents speak the Additional Language (both French
for example), and the other for families where only one parent is
non-English speaker (Mum French and Dad English for example). We didn't
develop anything for families in which more than one additional language
is spoken (Mum French, Dad Spanish for example). <br>
Also, you need to know that after extensive piloting, we have decided to
increase the weight of the mother's input, that is, whatever she does
(speaking only English, or only French, or half half) counts more than
what the father does. <br>
Columns D and after are full of calculations, nothing should be changed there.<br>What
we usually do is that we print the first 4 pages, and we are next to
the parent when she/he fills it in. Then we simply enter the numbers in
the excel spreadsheet afterwards, and that gives us the percentage of
exposure. Please let me know if you ave any question/problem.<br>
I also enclose a word document that contains the explanations as to how the entire calculations work.<br><br>I hope it will help!<br>Caroline<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 7:57 PM, Rita Leite <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rita.leite18@oi.com.br">rita.leite18@oi.com.br</a>></span> wrote:<br>
