Abstract

ABSTRACT Assessing a child’s language in the early years is critical to plan for an early intervention and maximize their learning potential. In a unique pan-Arabic approach to language development, we developed a new Arabic assessment tool, usable by parents and Early Years professionals to screen vocabulary in children between 8 months and 30 months across 17 Arab countries. Departing from the two relevant original Communicative Development Inventory forms (CDI: Words and Gestures and CDI: Words and Sentences, Fenson, Marchman, Thal, Reznick, & Bates, 2007), our Arabic CDI focuses on Words Only (Short Form), and assesses comprehension and production of a list of 100 words in 17 main dialects or Arabic, through a parental report. Data were collected from 436 Egyptian children and 168 children from the remaining 16 countries. Quasi-binomial model fits on Egyptian and Other Dialects comprehension and production data showed that Egyptian vocabulary norms could be reasonably extrapolated to the Other Dialects sample, as a first indication that the tool might be usable across the different countries.

为8至30个月的儿童改编的麦克阿瑟-贝茨CDI 17种阿拉伯语方言
早期评估儿童的语言能力对于制定早期干预计划和最大限度地发挥儿童的学习潜力至关重要。在一种独特的泛阿拉伯语语言发展方法中,我们开发了一种新的阿拉伯语评估工具,供父母和幼儿教育专业人员使用,用于筛选17个阿拉伯国家8个月至30个月儿童的词汇量。与两种相关的原始交际发展量表(CDI:单词和手势和CDI:单词和句子,Fenson, Marchman, Thal, Reznick, & Bates, 2007)不同,我们的阿拉伯语CDI只关注单词(简短形式),并通过家长报告评估17种主要方言或阿拉伯语的100个单词的理解和产生。数据来自436名埃及儿童和其他16个国家的168名儿童。拟二项式模型适合于埃及语和其他方言的理解和生产数据,表明埃及语的词汇规范可以合理地外推到其他方言样本,这是该工具可能在不同国家可用的第一个迹象。
