exposure to other cultures/languages

[Margaret Fleck]

Are you trying to classify kids who are significantly bilingual, or measure exposure among nominally monolingual kids e.g. extent of Spanish orASL enrichment activities, Dora,  bilingual daycare providers, etc?

Hello,
I designed a questionnaire to measure the quantity of input bilingual children were exposed to and I also measured the quality of input.
If you are interested, you can access my PhD thesis (which includes the questionnaire) at the link below.

Hi Jen, 
In terms of questionnaires designed to measure bilingual language exposure, I'm aware of the LEAP-Q (Marian, Blumenfeld, & Kaushanskaya (2007) and a similar measure used by Bosch and Sebastian-Galles (2001).  The former is intended for use with adult bilinguals, and is normed.  The latter is intended for use with parents of infants and young children, but is not normed.  I'm including the references below. I'm not aware of any questionnaires intended to measure exposure to culture.

Hello, 


I would like to create a measure assessing the amount of exposure children have had to other cultures and/or languages. Does anyone know of any existing measures that examine these or similar questions (preferably in the form of a questionnaire filled out by parents)?



Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Best,


Jen
