The current project aims to produce an easy-to-use instrument that can quantify language use patterns, language proficiency, and language dominance in the two languages of bilinguals. These dimensions will be measurable in absolute terms (as scores) and in relative terms (as proportional scores in the two languages). The instrument can be administered by a non-specialist, and will take 7-10 minutes to complete. By virtue of its modular design, it can be adapted to specific needs by selection of appropriate subtests. A guide to interpretation of results will enable teachers, administrators, policy makers, and researchers to understand the language-functional profiles of individuals and groups of testees. The project goals include development of the instrument in Spanish, French, Catalan, and English versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Applications of BLP in diverse research domains (conference presentation)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K_h43OO89bo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Presentation on the Bilingual Language Profile (BLP) Assessment Tool (2022)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"inline_featured_image":false},"grant":[7,55],"class_list":["post-90","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","grant-lrc","grant-lrc-2010"],"acf":{"project_directors":[{"project_director_name":"David Birdsong","project_director_link":"https:\/\/liberalarts.utexas.edu\/frenchitalian\/faculty\/dpb"},{"project_director_name":"Mark Amengual","project_director_link":"https:\/\/markamengual.weebly.com\/"}],"partners":null,"start_year":2010,"end_year":2014,"link":"https:\/\/blp.coerll.utexas.edu\/","project_resources":[{"resource_link":{"title":"Bilingual Language Profile (BLP) website","url":"https:\/\/blp.coerll.utexas.edu\/","target":"_blank"}},{"resource_link":{"title":"Bilingual Assessment Project Archive","url":" https:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/2152\/131803","target":"_blank"}}],"related_oer":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coerll.utexas.edu\/coerll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/90","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coerll.utexas.edu\/coerll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coerll.utexas.edu\/coerll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coerll.utexas.edu\/coerll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"grant","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coerll.utexas.edu\/coerll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grant?post=90"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
