Resumo: | Research with bilinguals apply different measures to assess proficiency, one of them being language background questionnaires, which include questions about individuals’ experience and self-rated proficiency. Studies suggest that bilinguals can report their proficiency consistently with objective measures (MARIAN et al., 2007; LUK et al., 2013; GERTKEN et al., 2014; BRANTMEIR et al., 2012). Within this context, the goal of the present study was to investigate the relationship between two distinct measures of proficiency. In order to do so, we correlated participants’ self-rated proficiency (N = 112) in the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (QuExPLi - Questionário de Experiência e Proficiência Linguística) with their scores on the TOEFL ITP. We also carried out a simple linear regression between the mean scores of the two measures. Results show a significant weak correlation between participants’ self-rated proficiency and their scores on the TOEFL ITP, as well as a significant regression equation. Also, when the scores on individual skills were correlated with participants’ self-rated proficiency on those skills (N = 16), significant moderate to strong correlations were found. These results add to research that have found that bilinguals are able to report their proficiency accurately; however, more studies in different contexts are needed. |

Estudos sugerem que bilíngues conseguem relatar a sua proficiência de forma consistente com medidas objetivas (MARIAN et al., 2007; LUK et al., 2013; GERTKEN et al., 2014; BRANTMEIR et al., 2012). Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a relação entre duas medidas distintas de proficiência. Para isso, correlacionamos a autoavaliação de proficiência dos participantes (N = 112) no Questionário de Experiência e Proficiência Linguística (QuExPLi) com as suas pontuações no TOEFL ITP. Também realizamos uma regressão linear simples entre os escores médios das duas medidas. Os resultados mostram uma correlação fraca e significativa entre a proficiência autoavaliada dos participantes e suas pontuações no TOEFL ITP, bem como uma equação de regressão significativa. Além disso, quando as pontuações nas habilidades individuais foram correlacionadas com a proficiência autoavaliada dos participantes nessas habilidades (N = 16), correlações significativas moderadas a fortes foram encontradas. Esses resultados se somam a pesquisas que encontraram dados de que bilíngues são capazes de relatar sua proficiência com precisão. No entanto, mais estudos em diferentes contextos são necessários.ANPOLL2021-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/150610.18309/ranpoll.v52i1.1506Revista da Anpoll; Vol. 52 No. 1 (2021): Language Studies; 142-161Revista da Anpoll; v. 52 n. 1 (2021): Estudos Linguísticos; 142-1611982-78301414-756410.18309/ranpoll.v52i1reponame:Revista da ANPOLL (Online)instname:Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)instacron:ANPOLLenghttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/1506/1159Copyright (c) 2021 Revista da Anpollhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessScholl, Ana PaulaFontes, Ana Beatriz Arêas da LuzFinger, Ingrid2021-05-31T22:59:41Zoai:ojs.revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br:article/1506Revistahttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/indexONGhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/oairevistadaanpoll@gmail.com1982-78301414-7564opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:55.162787Revista da ANPOLL (Online) - Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)false |
