Discussion
Which of the following is Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency?
Answer: B
Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP), a term from Cummins, means the academic language needed to learn in school, such as understanding textbooks and writing essays. Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) are the contrasting conversational skills used in everyday informal talk. So conversational language and informal communication describe BICS, not CALP.
Cummins separated BICS, which a child usually learns within about two years, from CALP, which takes about five to seven years to develop.
