Year 1 Fijian children's speech, language and literacy

Suzanne Hopf (my PhD student) is in the final phase of collecting data with year 1 students in  Fijian school. She has interviewed and worked with 36 year 1 children, parents, and their teacher. Last year she worked with 40 year 4 children in the same school. We are excited that we will soon be able to commence data analysis to document the skills of these multilingual children.
