ESRC-funded project aiming to (1) establish a consensus on how to quantify bilingual language experience & (2) to develop online tools for research and practice

Joined September 2019
We’re very keen for #teachers and #SLTs to try the questionnaire with #bilingual and #trilingual children and tell us what they think @RCSLTResearch @EAL_naldic. You can find all the info https://www.q-bex.or and you can email us at [email protected]. 🙏🏻
We're pleased to see our consensus study on quantifying #bilingual experience in children available online. This was a collaborative effort of 132 #researchers, #teachers and #SLTs from 29 countries. The paper is freely available here: doi.org/10.1017/S13667289220…

Do conferences without online access achieve a comparable level of diversity? Adding this option to post-pandemic conferences seems to have become a must if we want to be truly inclusive (and greener).
341 delegates from 50 different countries joined us for Day 2 of #COM2020 today🌍 An exciting final Day 3 tomorrow! 1/2
