Call Deadline: 30-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

BiALL is organized as part of the closure of the DFG-funded project DRUSLI,
investigating early predictors of bilingual children’s reading and writing
competence in primary school. Observing the language development of bilingual
children in the transition period from kindergarten to school, we are
interested in the association between the acquisition of literacy and various
domains of the preschool verbal language such as lexicon and grammar.

Attached to the conference will be a satellite workshop on outcomes from
DRUSLI (ZAS) and our partner project SEDRiK (LMU Munich). The following
competences are going to be in the focus there: (a) the phonological
competence (phonological representations measured based on NWRT and on
decision tasks between existing words and non-words), phonological awareness
and rapid automatized naming, and (b) narrative abilities with morphological,
syntactic and semantic components as well as the competence in discourse,
macrostructure and microstructure. All these components are considered as
being predictors for the later ability of reading, writing and spelling.
