Hong Kong Sign Language Elicitation Tool (HKSL-ET)

The Hong Kong Sign Language Elicitation Tool (HKSL-ET) is a test battery in a developmental stage, and is designed on the basis of previous research findings on sign linguistics of Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) and language acquisition. HKSL-ET takes the form of different kinds of games, and is conducted and videotaped by well-trained Deaf researchers who are fluent in HKSL. HKSL-ET aims at assessing the development of HKSL by deaf and hearing children, and providing language profiles for further research on acquisition and teaching of HKSL.
