[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There would have to be a test that would evaluate oral fluency but also written fluency. Being exposed to a language at home is not at all the same thing as going to school all day in that language. By 3rd grade or so, any advantage that native speakers of the second language had is gone for the most part, and good readers in English are also the good readers in the target language. Just having one parent in the home speaking the language, or a nanny, etc., even two parents at home may not be enough. [/quote] Native speakers don't even know how to write it. My daughter who takes spanish in middle school often ask our neighbor for help with her homework who is a native speaker, he doesn't know how to write it but he can speak it fluently. His parents don't speak engish that well and he was born and raised here. [/quote]
