| Research Abstract |
Many institutes for hearing-impaired children are using tests that are developed for children with no hearing problems. It has been said that a language assessment test should be developed according to the unique characteristics of hearing-impaired children. As a result, the author constructed a Japanese GAEL Test, which is a Japanese version of the GAEL TEST (Grammatical Analysis of Elicited Language) that was developed at the Central Institute for the Deaf(CID) in America. The Japanese GAEL Test consists of subtests according to the age of the children. The follwing results were found : (1)The children could concentrate their attention on the test when the test was adminisrated individually. (2)The administrator could assess the abilities without being influenced by the poor perception and pronunciation of the hearing-impaired children because the test was carried out in a conversational style. (3)Vocabulary and grammatical knowledge could be assessed.
