Language Screening of Pre-School Bilingual (Spanish-English) Children
Presented by: Aquiles Iglesias, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Jill De Villiers, Ph.D., & Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D.
Age range: Preschoolers
Who this chat is for: Any professional interested in evaluating language skills of bilingual (Spanish/English) preschoolers.
How can you tell if young bilingual children are making age-appropriate language progress? The Quick Interactive Language Screener ™: English–Spanish (QUILS ™: ES) can help—and this free coffee chat will introduce you to this web-based, game-like screener. Developed for use with English–Spanish bilingual children from ages 3 to 5:11, QUILS: ES measures not only language products (what the child already knows in both languages) but also language processes (how the child learns new words and grammar structures). Presented by co-developers of QUILS: ES, this webinar is a must for professionals who work with bilingual preschoolers.
Participants will:
- Review why it’s important to screen bilingual children in two languages
- Discover the rationale for the development of QUILS: ES
- Learn why QUILS: ES measures both the product of learning and the process of learning
- Get an overview of the structure and scoring of QUILS:ES
