Language proficiency is usually assessed through rating scales and self reporting questionnaires. These measures are subjected to bias and hence the findings on these measures may not reflect language proficiency accurately In order to obtain accurate measure objective measures has to be used. Verbal fluency skills measured through category fluency and phonemic fluency skills is one such objective measures. The present study aims to correlate the self rating proficiency measures of LEAP Q with two verbal fluency measures The study was carried on 30 bilingual participants. The participants on the basis of their rating on LEAP Q were divided into three groups, low proficiency, high proficiency groups and perfect or native like proficiency groups. Correlation between the measures i.e. rating on LEAP Q and verbal fluency measures was determined through Spearman's correlation coefficient. The r values obtained on correlating LEAP Q ratings (speaking domain) with category fluency and phonemic fluency measures were greater than 0.8 for all three groups indicating that the measures correlated. Verbal fluency measures are time effective measures and gives useful information about bilingual proficiency. It can be used alongside proficiency measures [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
