| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research, was as follows :
1. To develop a new language development assessment method that evaluates various aspects of language development,
2. To clarify the process of acquiring Japanese in infants and children using this assessment method,
3. To apply this assessment method to children with developmental disabilities and to clarify their problems with language development, and
4. To examine whether this assessment method can offer effective information for educational programs for developmentally disabled children.
This study was carried out over three years. In the first year, the tasks for the Japanese test were developed based on PLS-3 (Preschool Language Scale-3 (Zimmerman, Steiner & Pond, 1902)), which was developed for children learning English. PLS-3 can evaluate the level of language development by assessing receptive and expressive language skills in infants and young children (ages 0 to 6 years). Although we followed its overall style by dividing the material evaluated into two areas, "receptive language"and "expressive language", the test items were modified and overall style by dividing the material evaluated into two areas, "receptive language" and "expressive language", the test items were modified and new items were added to suit the process of acquiring Japanese. In the second year, a nationwide study examined 660 healthy children(ages 0 to 6 years) in order to standardize the new language development assessment tool. In addition, test items were prepared to evaluate the area of "communication", which was our original focus. In the final year, the data on the healthy children were analyzed, and their validity was verified. In addition, the use of the procedure and the interpretation of the results when this assessment method was applied to children with developmental disabilities were investigated.
