Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The current study seeks to explore the impact of multimedia input at home on bilingual children's language outcomes. Two hundred and two Singaporean English-Mandarin kindergarteners' multimedia experience (i.e., the resources and the amount of multimedia input) and conventional language exposure (e.g., language use with family members) were investigated with a parental questionnaire. A series of English and Mandarin tests were conducted to assess children's proficiency (i.e., in receptive vocabulary, receptive grammar, verbal fluency) by standardized measures. Results demonstrated that the diversity of multimedia input is more important than the amount of multimedia input in promoting children's Mandarin language maintenance, while controlling for children's conventional language exposure, SES, and language aptitude. The number of multimedia sources is significantly and positively related to children's general Mandarin proficiency. In contrast, English multimedia exposure at home exerts little impact on children's general English proficiency. The findings indicate the unique contribution of multimedia diversity to children's early heritage language maintenance. The strong social relevance of the study is discussed at the end of the paper.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
