The only exclusion criterion was a non-proficiency in English or Norwegian.
The exclusion criteria were acute psychosis, active suicidal behavior, intellectual disability, or non-proficiency in the Norwegian language.
Finally, in terms of the Non items, proficiency again significantly affected test performance, χ2 (2, N = 98) = 15.83, p < .001.001
The rules underwent minor changes, including the addition of non-weapon proficiencies – skill-like abilities that originally appeared in 1st Edition supplements.
This may be a result of clinicians spending more time explaining certain risk factors to patients with language barriers or simply lower alcohol consumption among those non-English-proficiency subjects in this study (although the question related to knowledge, not behavior).
Both field investigators were US medical students at the time with advanced but non-fluent Spanish proficiency.
Interestingly, implicatures encoded through conventionalized linguistic forms (Lin) were found to be more difficult to comprehend than non-conventionalized implicature (Non) regardless of examinee proficiency level.
Similarly, we also performed the same correlation analysis for "non-users" to see if there is a correlation between emotions and self-reported computer proficiency for "non-users" when they imagine using a password manager to log into a web site.
Once LEP students have sufficiently learned "academic" English to participate successfully in the classroom, as measured by a standardized test designed to measure the English proficiency of non-native English speakers, they are reclassified as Fully English Proficient (FEP) and are no longer considered LEP (WIDA Consortium, 2013).
What are reasonable expectations for English language proficiency of non-native speakers?
