The Bilingual Code-Switching Profile (BCSP)
The BCSP is a self-reporting questionnaire designed to assess a speaker's experience and engagement with code-switching (CS). The BCSP assesses four key components of the bilingual CS profile (CS History, CS Use, CS Proficiency, and CS Attitudes) and can be completed in 5–8 minutes. For details, check out this publication in Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism: [link] or [email for pdf].
The BCSP relies on framework from the Bilingual Language Profile (Birdsong et al. 2012). Check them out here! |

We would love to have the BCSP translated into other language pairings! We will post any addition versions here as they become available. Please contact me if you'd like assistance with translation. Note: A multi-step translation and verification of the BCSP into Spanish, Korean, and French was done following recommendations by the WHO (here) and Tsang et al. 2017 (here). This is detailed in Olson (2022). |
