Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different language assessment methods affect the classification of language dominance and proficiency in bilingual pre-kindergarteners and kindergarteners.
- It analyzed data from 1,029 Spanish-English bilingual children, focusing on factors like age of first exposure and current language use through parent questionnaires.
- Findings revealed that current language use was a stronger predictor of language dominance than age of first exposure, and children showed varied performance on language tasks depending on their level of exposure, highlighting potential challenges in comparing studies with different measures of language proficiency.
