Assessing Oral Language

Assessing Oral Language with the Record of Oral Language

Professional learning module intended for use with the Record of Oral Language
[book not included]

This leader-directed professional learning module focuses on a technique for observing a child’s control of the structures of the English language and for monitoring changes in control over time. It was developed to accompany the 2007 edition of the book, Record of Oral Language: Observing Changes in the Acquisition of Language Structures, by Marie M. Clay, Malcolm Gill, Ted Glynn, Tony McNaughton, and Keith Salmon.

The module will help participants administer, score, and use the results of a child’s recorded language behaviors and is divided into two parts: “Administering, Scoring and Interpreting” and “Exploring Implications for Instruction.”

The materials for this course can be found in the three sections below.
