Project description

Given the lack of suitable language assessment tools available to tap into the variation in NGT fluency in adults (L1/L2), we developed a sentence repetition test for Sign Language of the Netherlands for adults (NGT-SRT, Master thesis by Anique Schuller, 2018). With this test, data were collected in L1 signers and L2 signers. More recently, a second sentence repetition test for Sign Language of the Netherlands was developed for the use with children (NGT-SRT-kids).
