Welcome

I am a graduate student in the Research and Clinical Psychology program at Concordia University, in Montreal, Canada. I conduct my research in the Concordia Infant Research lab, which is directed by Dr. Krista Byers-Heinlein.

My research program aims to elucidate how bilingual children learn their languages best and which characteristics of early bilingual home environments foster better bilingual language outcomes. My methods have included live action experiments, focus groups, parent-report questionnaires, and eye-tracking.

I created this website as a home base for the plethora of academic networking platforms out there. I hope it will facilitate your access to materials and make it easier for you, future collaborators and fellow students, to contact me — so please do not hesitate to do so. I am also fully bilingual, so feel free to communicate with me en français should you wish!

Warmly,

Melanie Brouillard
