Exposure to native language questionnaire

[Caroline Floccia]

Dear Pascale,

At the University of Plymouth, we have developed a questionnaire last year,
which allows you to calculate the percentage of exposure to English from
data such as the number of hours the child sleeps at night, what language
each parent uses most often to talk to the child, how many hours the child
spends with each parent alone, etc. We are currently writing a paper in
which we show that the performances of 30-month-olds in various English
tests can be predicted by their score in the exposure questionnaire. If you
are interested, I can send it to you, in its current state it is an excel
file, very easy to fill in.
Best regards,

Caroline Floccia, Allegra Cattani (University of Plymouth)
