Clinical markers of DLD in bilingual and monolingual Vietnamese children - Diversity Supplement L. Dang - Project Summary. This predoctoral supplement application is for Linh Dang, a bilingual/biliterate Vietnamese American in her first year of PhD studies in Language and Communicative Disorders, an interdisciplinary joint doctoral program (JDP) at San Diego State University (SDSU) and University of California San Diego. Within the JDP, the candidate plans to pursue the optional clinical track that offers training in speech-language pathology concurrently with doctoral studies. The candidate's career goal is to pursue a tenure-track faculty position to conduct clinically relevant research in child language disorders and bilingualism and teach future speech-language pathologists. Parent grant status: The parent R01 grant aims to identify clinical markers of DLD among bilingual and monolingual Vietnamese children. The central hypothesis is that there are Vietnamese clinical markers that can identify DLD, whether children are learning Vietnamese alone or in combination with English. Aim 1 establishes diagnostic accuracy for nonword repetition (NWR) and sentence repetition (SR) in monolinguals, ages 4 to 6. Data collection for Aim 1 is complete, with 196 children and their parents and teachers in Vietnam. Analysis and dissemination are ongoing. Aim 2 compares bilinguals and monolinguals across measures of morphosyntax, a hallmark area of deficit for children with DLD. We are transcribing language samples and matching bilinguals and monolinguals by age to identify grammatical features that can distinguish typical development (TD) from DLD. Aim 3 combines bilinguals and monolinguals to evaluate the diagnostic utility of all index measures of grammar (morpheme accuracy, diversity, productivity), SR, and NWR. We are actively collecting data with bilinguals; once this cohort is complete, we will embark on analysis of the full dataset. Across aims, we are on track to complete data collection and main analyses by the end of the grant. Proposed training: The candidate will be involved in all aspects of the parent grant. For Aim 1, the candidate will be part of a manuscript on the diagnostic utility of combining NWR and SR for the monolingual population. For Aim 2, the candidate will gain experience with language sample scoring to measure morphosyntactic accuracy, diversity, and productivity, and will lead the writing of the corresponding manuscript. For Aim 3, the candidate will gain experience collecting data with bilingual children and mentored experience with calculating diagnostic accuracy measures. The proposed supplement will provide first-hand training on time-intensive data collection with individual bilingual children and their parents and teachers. The candidate will gain clinically relevant skills of language sample transcription and analysis in Vietnamese and English. She will co-present with the PI at scientific conferences and co-author data-based papers from the parent grant. Upon completion of the supplement, the candidate will be ready to propose her own project as an NIH F31 to further her goal of research independence.
