This course provided a framework that can be applied to any two languages to assess whether speech errors are atypical or due to second language influence. We discussed how a second language influences sound acquisition by identifying which sounds exist in both languages. We approached phonological development with an eye on which processes exist in either language.

Participants will:

Understand typical speech development for bilinguals
Identify typical speech processes of bilinguals
List similarities in typical monolingual and bilingual speech development
Identify speech intervention goals for bilingual children
