- W2189142721 abstract "Research into Early Years assessment for preschoolers is a relatively new field of endeavour in Hong Kong, and there is a growing need for the identification and development of appropriate English language assessments for use with such children. This study explores three widely used Early English language measures developed for use with preschool children in U.K. (British Picture Vocabulary Scale II, Bryant & Bradley Phonological Awareness Assessment and Marie Clay Letter Identification Test), and investigates whether they are appropriate for the assessment of ESL children in Hong Kong, by evaluating their validity and sensitivity. The selected L1 measures were administered to 75 normally developing 4-year-old children (mean age = 4;6; SD = 5.89) from a bilingual Kindergarten in Hong Kong. The findings suggest that all three English language measures discriminated between the children with acceptable levels of sensitivity by yielding a range of normally distributed scores. Adequate evidence of concurrent criterion-related validity was also obtained through correlation analyses of the children's English test scores and their performance on a nonverbal cognitive assessment (Pattern Construction subscale of the British Ability Scales II) and relevant teacher ratings of their English. Furthermore, the children's vocabulary performance (BPVS-II) was found to be comparable to the U.K. EAL norming sample, and the possible effect of cultural bias was not substantial enough to decrease the overall validity of the instrument for this population. In short, it was found that, contrary to the research literature, the selected L1 English language measures are appropriate for assessing L2 English language skills of Hong Kong preschoolers, at least for those in the sample. This may suggest that the current popular case against the use of standardized tests in L2 assessment is not as unequivocal as may be commonly assumed." @default.
