McMillen, Stephanie; Anaya, Jissel B.; Peña, Elizabeth D.; Bedore, Lisa M.; Barquin, Elisa – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Research has investigated how lexical-semantic and participant factors impact word learning in young children and adults. However, limited information pertaining to expressive vocabulary development exists for school-aged bilinguals--particularly those with developmental language disorder (DLD). Cross-linguistic differences in the semantic…

We present results of a randomized control trial of a two-generation English as a Second Language (ESL) program in which all families participated in Head Start while treatment parents also enrolled in a high dosage, family-focused ESL curriculum with supportive services. Examining 197 parent-child dyads among Spanish- (89%) and Zomi-speaking…

Gross, Megan C.; Kaushanskaya, Margarita – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The current study examined language control and code-switching in bilingual children with developmental language disorder (DLD) compared to bilingual peers with typical language development (TLD). In addition, proficiency in each language and cognitive control skills were examined as predictors of children's tendency to engage in…

Wofford, Mary Claire; Cano, Jessica; Goodrich, J. Marc; Fitton, Lisa – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: This study examined performance of dual language learners (DLLs) on Spanish- and English-language narrative story retells and unique tells. Transcription and analysis focused on comparisons of common microstructural language sample measures in Spanish and English across tasks. Each language sample measure was evaluated for its possible…

Anaya, Jissel B.; Peña, Elizabeth D.; Bedore, Lisa M. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: This study examined the effects of single-language and conceptual scoring on the vocabulary performance of bilingual children with and without specific language impairment. We assessed classification accuracy across 3 scoring methods. Method: Participants included Spanish-English bilingual children (N = 247) aged 5;1 (years;months) to…

Sembiante, Sabrina F.; Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria; Johanson, Megan; Justice, Laura – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: We examined the amount of preschool lead/assistant teachers' English/Spanish language use and relations between quality of teacher-child interactions, and Dual Language Learners' (DLLs) English/Spanish bilingual vocabulary in 31 English-medium Head Start classrooms. Measures in this study included (a) children's conceptual…

Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria; Mesa, Carol – Grantee Submission, 2021
Purpose: This study examines the extent to which the Home Literacy Environment (HLE) as measured by reading habits and resources, library use, and subscriptions or materials, as well as parental reading beliefs predict both language skills (i.e., vocabulary) at kindergarten and students' trajectories of growth from kindergarten (K) to grade 3…

Oliva-Olson, Carola – Urban Institute, 2019
Dual language learners make up an increasing share of preschool students, but they often perform worse than monolingual students on assessments measuring school achievement. This study compares Head Start classrooms implementing either the dual language model or the English with home language support model. The author examines how the models…

Diaz, Vanessa; Farrar, M. Jeffrey – First Language, 2018
Bilingual children often show advanced executive functioning (EF) and false belief (FB) understanding compared to monolinguals. The latter has been attributed to their enhanced inhibitory control EF, although this has only been examined in a single study which did not confirm this hypothesis. The current study examined the relation of EF and…

Atkins-Burnett, Sally; Xue, Yange; Aikens, Nikki – Early Education and Development, 2017
Research Findings: This study examined associations between the expressive vocabulary of classroom peers and children's own vocabulary knowledge using conceptual scoring in a linguistically diverse sample of 4-year-olds who attended universal preschool programs in a metropolitan area. Higher peer conceptually scored expressive vocabulary was…

The Role of Prek Spanish in Predicting First Grade English Word Reading among Dual Language Learners
Mesa, Carol; Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria – Grantee Submission, 2019
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine the role that the first language (L1), Spanish, at Pre-Kindergarten plays in predicting second language (L2), English, word reading in first grade. In addition, it examines the role of conceptual vocabulary in predicting word reading in English. Method: As part of a longitudinal study of…

Ribot, Krystal M.; Hoff, Erika – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2014
Relations between bilingual children's patterns of conversational code-switching (responding to one language with another), the balance of their dual language input, and their expressive and receptive proficiency in two languages were examined in 115 2½-year-old simultaneous Spanish-English bilinguals in the U.S. Children were more likely to…

Alt, Mary; Meyers, Christina; Figueroa, Cecilia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether children exposed to 2 languages would benefit from the phonotactic probability cues of a single language in the same way as monolingual peers and to determine whether crosslinguistic influence would be present in a fast-mapping task. Method: Two groups of typically developing children…
