Arabic Language Screening Tests: Preschool and School Age
by Professors Yousef El-Halees and Elisabeth Wiig, Ph.D.

Culturally and linguistically authentic measures of development and delays in children’s acquisition of Arabic. There are two parallel versions; one for preschool (ages 3-6 years) and one for school-age children (ages 7-13 years). The tests evaluate listening and understanding spoken Arabic (receptive language) and speaking and getting ideas across to others in Arabic (expressive language). The items are designed to probe language at several linguistic levels -- meaning (semantics), word structure (morphology), sentence structure (syntax) -- and remembering spoken language. Norm-referenced scores provide two sets of Pass/Fail criterion scores at each one-year age intervals. One set of pass/fail scores is conservative with cut-off scores at -1 standard deviation below the mean. The second set is strict with cut-off scores at -2 standard deviations below the mean. Guidelines are provided for administering the test and interpreting the results. A case-history inventory is provided to assist in obtaining background information for referral and diagnostic language testing. All instructions and items are in authentic and appropriate, colloquial Arabic.

Arabic Receptive-Expressive Vocabulary Test
by Professors Yousef El-Halees and Elisabeth Wiig, Ph.D.

A culturally authentic test of the acquisition of Arabic vocabulary for ages 3 through 13. Items are grouped in two sections. One probes listening and understanding (receptive vocabulary) and one naming and speaking (expressive vocabulary). Norm-referenced scores allow examiners to compare an Arabic-speaking child’s level of acquisition to normal growth curves and rates for Arabic language acquisition. Discrepancies between the receptive and expressive vocabulary abilities are quantified. The test results translate easily into language intervention and educational goals for classrooms and clinics. All instructions and items are in authentic and appropriate Arabic.
