I really appreciate the continued research that is being done in this area of our field. One hour is a pretty limited amount of time to present the extensiveness of this research and then also how to apply it to daily work in practice. That said, I understood the underlying principles of the research outcomes but am still struggling to understand how to apply when assessing students. Would love a follow-up course with examples to expand on this.

i enjoyed the research used to explain the type of testing done with bilinguals. I wish it would have been more specific as to how to do the testing, but I know that would be way too long of a course.

Not much I can really put to practice here. I did gain an appreciation of the difficulty of bilingual test development but the graphs were hard to grasp, they were not always labeled, and the color-coding was mixed up on some things. Sometimes a dashed lines represented DLD performance & solid lines for the TD - then sometimes it was the other way around.....

I remain slightly confused as to how to assess bilingual English-Spanish speakers, since the presenter emphasized 'tailoring' the assessment to the client's linguistic profile. That advice implies that there is no single test to be used across clients. How do I tailor the BESA?

I will say, this is a course I feel the need to listen to at least one more if not 2-3 more times before fully grasping it and remembering the information. There were so many graphs and charts in the course that I would love to remember but they were so detailed and specific it will be hard to do so. I'll have to come back to this as a great reference!

Difficult to follow research presented. Graph slides had poor legends and/or explanatory information to comprehend. Speaker did not summarize key points or takeaways regarding bilingualism and DLD assessment. Certain exam questions unclear and not specifically discussed or clarified in the audiovisual or transcript of the course.
by
Grace
on

If it could have had more language samples or response samples/case studies of what a DLD kiddo looks like that might have made it more applicable. But I am also just bad at statistics, so it is probably my fault.

The speaker clearly knew what she was talking about however I would have benefited from more of what she was saying on the slides. The slides and the transcript are very different and I tend to pay most attention visually. I feel like I learned a lot about the BESA but not as general a course as I'd have initially assumed.

Yet another presentation from this series that was dry and difficult to follow due to the academic/research format.

I think the presenter could’ve done a better job of explaining the data in some of the graphs. I don’t think she did a very good job of explaining her material, and since the graphs weren’t very well labeled it was difficult to interpret some of them independently of her verbal explanation.

I appreciated Dr. Pena's information but I felt like she wasn't making specific learning point summaries to the listener. I also thought her test was very difficult and even with extensive review of the handouts, some answers did not jump out. Being someone that has not studied this topic before, it was hard to listen and compute quickly and make assumptions and sort out the facts.

Dr. Pena is a premiere researcher in this area, and this was an efficient way to be brought up This course was at an advanced level. It did move quickly for people who might not be fully familiar with some of the concepts. I wasn't sure what color coding meant in some of the graphic representations of research results.
