Methods in Bimodal Bilingualism Research

Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of methods in bilingualism and bimodal bilingualism research. It begins with an introduction to a research project for which these methods were developed. Next, the chapter describes the process of selection, adaptation, or development of parallel test batteries for target languages. These test target children between the ages of 4 to 7 years in the areas of general language, vocabulary, morphosyntax, phonology, and non-verbal intelligence. The chapter also describes each test, including information on how the test was developed and how it is administered, as well as suggestions for the set-up of camera(s) during filming. It ends with a discussion of the advantages of the data collection fair concept (an innovative technique for child data collection designed to improve on traditional piecemeal collection) and with a list of best practices for optimizing test effectiveness.
