They exhibit a larger number of errors and atypical errors

89
Q

What does Negative Transfer mean?

Child develops phonological skills in both languages slower than his monolingual peers

90
Q

Languages don’t have the same phonetic inventories

Languages have a different distribution of sounds (Hmong only has the final sound /ŋ/).

Consonants have different places of articulation (Spanish /d/ more dentalized)

Languages have different phonological rules

How and when pronunciation is acquired contributes to how languages influence each other (learning to write English words before learning sound-letter correspondence)

94
Q

Sample adult speakers in the child’s community

Ask for more information from interpreter

97
Q

Which language should we assess bilingual children in?

A

Both if at all possible

98
Q

What should be included in an assessment of a bilingual child?

(2)

A

Informal measures (speech sample, etc.)

99
Q

What question can we ask parents about a child’s dialectical use?

A

Does your child sound like other children in their peer group?

100
Q

When performing elective dialect reduction, what other targets should be included beyond speech sounds?

(3)

A

Stress

Pitch

Intonation

101
Q

What is a Bilingual Approach?

4
