One of our main projects is a longitudinal study titled, “The International Bilingual Education (IBE) Project”, which is an academic-community partnership project.

Our project aims to design and evaluate dynamic assessment tools for early identification of at-risk readers in French immersion programs and providing interventions to at-risk readers through evidence-based computer games. The research project has the following two objectives: 

1. To evaluate dynamic assessment (DA) tools for early identification of at-risk reading status for French immersion children. 
2. To provide interventions to at-risk readers through evidence-based computer games. 

The participating children in this study were assessed in various domains of language and literacy over a time span of three years. 

Dynamic assessment measures focus on children’s learning potential instead of language knowledge and can be administered to emergent bilinguals upon school entry in both L1 (first language) and L2 (second language).
