PROFICIENCY ASSESSMENT STANDARDS IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION RESEARCH (2011, methodology): “…tests, they do not always provide a precise estimate of profi - ciency (e.g., Delgado, Guerrero, Goggin, & Ellis, 1999 ; Flege et al., 2002 ; Jia, Aaronson, & Wu, 2002 ; for a more reliable self-assessment questionnaire that also includes language background information, see Marian et al., 2007 ).”
When a seven is not a seven: Self-ratings of bilingual language proficiency differ between and within language populations (2018, background): “Of interest, and consistent with previous reports (Marian et al., 2007; Gollan et al., 2012; Sheng et al., 2014), dominance scores (dominant minus non-dominant) revealed the highest correlations with objectively measured proficiency.”
Bilingualism is not a categorical variable: Interaction between language proficiency and usage (2013, methodology): “Another instrument developed by Marian, Blumenfeld, and Kaushanskaya (2007) is the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (LEAP-Q).”
Motivation and Second Foreign Language Proficiency: The Mediating Role of Foreign Language Enjoyment (2020, background): “Previous scholars have confirmed the validity of self-reported language proficiency by examining the relationship between self-reported and behavioral measures empirically [55], and such self-ratings are commonly used in measuring proficiency in English and other languages [56–58].”
Constraints on parallel activation in bilingual spoken language processing: Examining proficiency and lexical status using eye-tracking (2007, methodology): “Participants also completed a Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire ( LEAP-Q, Marian, Blumenfeld, & Kaushanskaya, in press ).”
Are bilingual advantages dependent upon specific tasks or specific bilingual experiences? (2014, background): “For example, a study by Marian, Blumenfeld, and Kaushanskaya (2007) correlated self-report measures of reading, speaking and listening proficiency with eight different standardised measures of language skill involving reading, writing, speaking and listening and covering both comprehension and…”
Cross-linguistic structural priming in multilinguals: further evidence for shared syntax (2016, methodology): “This model is a multilingual extension of Pickering and Branigan’s (1998) model of the lexicosyntactic stratum in sentence production.”
A quick, gradient Bilingual Dominance Scale* (2009, background): “These types of questions are commonly found in research assessing bilingual fluency (Li et al., 2006; Marian et al., 2007).”
Characterizing the social diversity of bilingualism using language entropy (2019, methodology): “) is frequently elicited by the standard language history questionnaires that have become ubiquitous within the field (Anderson, Mak, Chahi, & Bialystok, 2018; Birdsong, et al., 2012; Dunn, & Fox Tree, 2009; Li et al., 2014; Marian et al., 2007), and these data are inherently proportional (or, in th”
