🚨 Paper alert! 🚨
It’s common for cross-cultural research to be conducted in a second language: a national majority language or lingua franca. But research among the Hadza, published today in @PNASNexus, shows second languages can bias results. 🧵/14

Thank you @SamSiySP & @Fran_SLP_ED for the invitation. It was a great space to be in. We need more discussion on issues regarding standardized testing and standard language ideologies in SLT.
Great discussion tonight at our Sympatico SIG meeting where we chatted with @vishinair5 about the thought-provoking paper re standardised testing in SLT. Really interesting perspectives from colleagues in UK, Australia & NZ. Looking forward to the next one.
