The individual child reports generated by the @QBExProject #bilingualism #questionnaire now include a section to identify children who would benefit from specialist language assessment.
Version 11 of Q-BEx is now live, with lots of improvements to the administration interface and customisability of the questionnaire.
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 very keen for #teachers and #SLTs to try the questionnaire with #bilingual and #trilingual children and tell us what they think @RCSLTResearch @EAL_naldic. You can find all the info https://www.q-bex.or and you can email us at [email protected]. 🙏🏻

A study of 355k UK primary school students finds reading achievement in one year predicts maths achievement the next year more strongly than the other way round suggesting "acquiring good reading skills is highly relevant for developing mathematics skills" bit.ly/3OYL2I5
five postdocs at Radboud; do get in touch with me if interested in a postdoc on intonation, rhythm, or code-switching academictransfer.com/en/314705/post…
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/S13667…
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-b…
Are you a researcher/teacher/SLT who has used the Q-BEx questionnaire to collect language background data with multilingual families/children? Please give us your views via this 5-minute form: bit.ly/3uZvJGa Your input to improve the Q-BEx is key! Thanks and please RT
