Bilectal Dominance Profiler for Heritage-Language Education A lightweight, validated questionnaire tool that measures which language dominates a bilectal speaker's grammar by probing acceptability of constructions that diverge between the standard language and the regional variety, enabling educators to tailor heritage-dialect instruction to each learner's actual linguistic baseline.
Why it helps: FISM coordinates thousands of early-childhood schools, many in dialect-strong northern and southern regions; knowing children's dominance profile at school entry would help teachers scaffold early literacy more effectively.
