For decades, the speech-language therapy profession has expressed the need for the development of language assessment materials in languages other than English for children and adults.

Featuring the viewpoints of contributors from around the world, A Guide to Global Language Assessment also boasts a complete database of available global language assessments.
What’s included in A Guide to Global Language Assessment:
  • Case studies, assessment frameworks, and resources for conducting global language assessments for culturally and linguistically diverse populations
  • An array of language assessment methods across a continuum such as ethnographic and dynamic assessments, narratives, and standardized language assessment
  • Methods for developing local norms
A Guide to Global Language Assessment: A Lifespan Approach is an essential tool for empowering current and future speech-language therapists, professors, and researchers to address global language assessment across the lifespan.
