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

[Maggie Friend]

Hello,

It appears that many of us have realized the need for such an instrument!  We have developed an excel-based scoring tool for the Language Exposure Questionnaire (LEQ; Bosch & Sebastian-Gallés, 1997). Below is a link to the manual, the scoring tool, and a macro for collapsing data across participants. The second link provides a poster with data on the reliability and validity of the LEQ (as administered using the scoring tool) for Spanish, English, and French-speaking infants.

Here is the folder with the materials:

Here is the poster with validity and reliability data:

Here is the citation for the manual:

I would like to find one which is relatively simple to fill in (for parents who may not read English) and which has been validated through measures of correlations with children's language competence.
