The seminar focuses on the purpose and design of language assessment materials for children, considered in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective. Why is it necessary to test children in language skills?  There is variety in the kinds of language disorders, delay and difference in children. We will read about how linguists and psychologists collaborate to make tests that tap deep knowledge, and how to ensure that tests are fair across cultures, languages, dialects and multilingualism
