摘要

本文主要目的在介紹可用以鑑定、評量具有語言問題的國小學童語言能力之評量工具的發展與設計，共計四套的真正本土化的語言評量測驗包含：1.兒童口語理解測驗，2.兒童口語表達指標測驗，3.中文閱讀理解測驗，4.國小學童書寫語言測驗等，其中口語表達指標測驗尚在進行常模之統計與分析。
文中說明各套評量工具的理論基礎與信效度研究，以及建立台灣地區常模的過程，希望未來能提供各縣市特殊教育學生鑑定就學輔導委員會心理評量小組、國小教師、語言治療師、資源班教師等，評量國小學童的聽、說、讀、寫等四種語言能力。

並列摘要

The main purposes of this study was to design and develop a comprehensive language evaluation tool for the identification, diagnosis, and follow-up evaluation of language deficits in school-age children. Specifically, this language evaluation tool will assess four types of language skills, namely, oral language comprehension, oral language production, reading and writing.
The test was developed on a linguistic model, including subtests that assess facets of semantics, syntax, metalinguistics and discourse coherence. Test items were selected from school-age children's reading materials and language development data. Items within each subtest will be arranged by graduated difficulty.
As for the establishment of norms, total of 2533 children in first through sixth grades were selected as standarization sample. Also, the standard score norms, percentile ranks were established for clinical and instructional usage.
It is suggested that the assessment data can be used for profiling a specific child's language skills in oral language comprehension, production, reading and writing, such that teachers and language therapists may have a clearer clue to identify the children's language deficits in whatever area.
