A bimodális kétnyelvűek nyelvi teljesítményét mérő eszközök és módszerek kihívásai és korlátai

Abstract

Deaf communities are strongly heterogeneous and they use sign language. The degree and reason of deafness, family environment, strategy of language use within the family, educational background, and the use of hearing aids are all sociocultural factors which have a significant effect on the linguistic and cognitive development. They have an impact on the development of linguistic and communicative competencies, on the available linguistic resources, and on the language use. The teaching process, methods, and measurements of linguistic performance should adapt to this linguistic diversity. This, however, is not the case yet. The aim of this study is to introduce the difficulties and challenges of measuring the linguistic performance of deaf children and to present the attitude that should be developed so that new and more efficient measurement tools could help to follow the progress in language and cognitive skills.
