Adaptação cultural do Test of Narrative Language (TNL) para o Português Brasileiro

Abstract

Adjustments were required to meet the equivalence between the original and the translated versions. The adapted version showed it has the potential to identify differences in oral narratives of children in the age range provided by the test. Measurement equivalence for validation and test standardization are in progress and will be able to supplement the study outcomes.

Desempenho de falantes do português brasileiro no “Test of Narrative Language (TNL)”

“…In order to investigated narrative performance, the translated and culturally adapted version (26) of the Test of Narrative Language (TNL) (18) was applied to the study participants. The test is divided into two subtests: narrative comprehension and oral narration, which are measured by six tasks comprising three different formats: without picture support, with support of sequenced pictures, and with support of a single picture.…”

“…These measures are represented by a raw score, age equivalent, and standard percentile score. The test also predicts a global measure, represented by the Narrative Language Ability Index (NLAI), percentile rank, and descriptive rank of children's performance (very superior, superior, above-average, average, below-average, poor, and very poor) (26) .…”

“…In Brazil, the TNL has been translated and culturally adapted by Rossi et al (26) , and no studies on the performance of children using this tool have been conducted with native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese to date. In view of this, the present study was proposed based on two hypotheses: (a) Will there be difference between age groups with superior performance in narrative comprehension and oral narration for children in older-age groups using the TNL version adapted to Brazilian Portuguese?…”

Análise do reconhecimento populacional das figuras do sentence production program for aphasia

“…However, the degree of imageability and concreteness (23) of the SPPA images failed to promote the recognition of the contexts these images are supposed to depict. Major cultural differences and comprehension difficulties for the stimuli presented were evident, where lower than expected ratings were given even for pictures representing everyday scenes of Brazilian culture.…”

Construção de um instrumento para avaliar a compreensão da linguagem oral de crianças de 2 a 6 anos

“…Em conjunto, os itens das fases 1, 2, 3, 4 e 5 obtiveram PC = 100%, RVC = 1,0 e IVC = 1,0. Na fase 6 os índices foram PC = 88%, RVC 16,17 , outros à compreensão de textos mais complexos 5,19 . Outros ainda se aprofundam em levantar informações sobre a metalinguagem e compreensão da gramática 29 .…”
