Longitudinal Study on the Acquisition of a Minority Language (French) in an Anglophone Community

We have been following a group of about 90 children since 2014/2015 using an accelerated longitudinal design (Duncan & Duncan, 2012).
The language skills of these children were assessed in kindergarten, first grade, grade three and grade 9 (grade 9 data collection for second cohort currently underway).
We seek to assess assess and analyse speaking, understanding, reading and writing skills in both French and English.
The group consists of bilingual children for whom English is the dominant language, bilingual children for whom French is the dominant language and children with a developmental language disorder.
Thank you to all the families and schools who have agreed to participate in this study.
