Validation and Development of Norms for the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language-Revised (TACL-R) in Lebanon
El Hassan, Karma; Jammal, Rima
Assessment in Education Principles Policy and Practice, v12 n2 p183-202 Jul 2005
Assessment of auditory comprehension is necessary for therapeutic clinical intervention as well as remedial and special education services. In this study, the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language-Revised (TACL-R), developed by Elizabeth Carrow-Woolfolk in 1985, was translated and adapted for use in the Lebanese culture. The adapted test was administered to 350 Lebanese children aged 3:0-9:11 selected on the basis of grade and school type. Norms were reported for each age and grade level. Reliability analysis showed that the adapted test provides consistent, stable and precise estimates of auditory comprehension ability. The test's construct validity was examined using several indices. In addition, evidence for concurrent validity was provided by examining the relationship between scores on the adapted test and teachers' ratings of students' language abilities. Obtained results were compared with those on the TACL-R and were discussed in terms of their practical implications. Recommendations for further research were proposed.
