More details on using the Q-BEx questionnaire can be found in the manual: q-bex.org/wp-content/uploads… 2/2

We created short videos on how to register on the Q-BEx platform, create, customise & distribute the questionnaire, & access the data. The videos aim to facilitate using Q-BEx in research/practice with #bilingual & #trilingual children. Check them out: q-bex.org/researchers/using-… 1/2

Version 11 of Q-BEx is now live, with lots of improvements to the administration interface and customisability of the questionnaire.

@HaBilNet funding will also enable further improvements to the Q-BEx.org online questionnaire, the professional user interface, the data pre-processing and the information provided to assist practitioners in the interpretation of children’s individual reports.

The Harmonious Bilingualism Network @HaBilNet is generously funding Q-BEx for 3 years. From 2025, donations will be requested only from funded research, so that the tool can remain free to all other users.

Today we had a visit from wonderful @AllSaintsBD5 pupils at @LCSLeeds, learning about languages of the world and multilingualism! We hope to see many of them join @UniversityLeeds in future as students and staff investigating different languages, cultures and other topics!

We are recruiting #monolingual #bilingual & #trilingual 5-8-year-old children from the north of England for our study on #LanguageDevelopment & #EAL. See more details about the study on the flyer or on this link: tinyurl.com/yc38r7kd

Are you a parent of a 5-8-year-old who speaks 1, 2, or 3 languages? Do you live in York, Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool or anywhere in between? If yes & if interested to participate in our study on language development, please get in touch at [email protected]

Great to see #QBExProject featured at #ALC22 - a wonderful event launching the new Alliance for Life Chances @BradfordOppArea @CAER

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…

We've been busy in the past few months! Currently we are validating the #Q-BEx #questionnaire in 3 countries and working with #teachers and #SLTs on determining a school-optimised and SLT-optimised version of the tool. Read more here: q-bex.org/2022/06/14/q-bex-p…

An accessible summary of the paper can be found at q-bex.org/wp-content/uploads…

We discuss the limitations of the Delphi approach and issues of bias, and the risks and limitations of standardised questionnaires.

We argue that the reliability derived measures of bilingualism is determined by how their components are documented and quantified. True comparability of measures can only be achieved if similar documentation tools are used across research teams.

We report on the level of consensus regarding which aspects of children's bilingual experience need to be documented to inform research and practice.

Bilingualism researchers and practitioners from both clinical and educational settings are ready to adopt common methods for the documentation of bilingual experience, to enhance the generalisability of research findings and facilitate exchanges between research and practice.

We have just released the Q-BEx questionnaire design documentation (q-bex.org/researchers/design…) and the updated manual (q-bex.org/researchers/using-…) explaining how the questionnaire was created and how to use it. A useful resource for work with #bilingual and #trilingual children
