The Expressive Language Test-2 measures language expression and flexibility.

This
assessment is unique in that the language skills tested are those commonly identified
by researchers, teachers, and clinicians as most predictive of classroom learning
difficulty. The ELT-2 is comprised of five subtests with tasks that require students to
process and organize language, retrieve what they hear, and use the expressive skills
needed for success in the classroom. The average standard score for each subtest is
100, with 85-115 being considered the average range.

Subtest Descriptions
Sequencing skills are tested in three ways. The student
describes a sequence of events or answers sequence
Sequencing questions about a picture in the first task. Next the student
is asked to tell about an event without using pictures. The
last task asks the student to sequence a set of pictures
and tell a story about them.
The Defining subtest and Generating Examples subtests
Metalinguistics- are presented together. The student is asked to define an
Defining & academic concept and then provide an example of the
Generating Examples aforementioned concept.
These skills are measured in two ways. The student is
Grammar & asked to repair grammar and syntax at the sentence level.
Syntax Then, the student is asked to put words in the correct
order to make a comprehensible sentence.
The student is asked to define or describe a category
Defining Categories when presented with a category name.

XX’s results for the subtests on the ELT-2 are as follows:


Subtests Standard Score Percentile Descriptive Term

Sequencing 116 86 Above Average

Metalinguistics- Defining 112 79 Average

Metalinguistics- Examples 105 63 Average

Grammar & Syntax 110 75 Average

Defining Categories 109 73 Average

Total Test 115 84 Average


(Average Standard Score = 100; Average Range= 85-115)
The results of The Expressive Language Test-2 indicate that XX presents with many
areas of strength. XX demonstrated significant strength in his ability to sequence
linguistic information, with and without picture prompts. In regards to metalinguistics, he
demonstrated the ability to define and provide specific examples of a variety of
academic vocabulary including: sentence, verb, rhyming word, example and title. XX
demonstrated the ability to repair sentences containing incorrect grammatical
structures, as well as construct meaningful sentences with appropriate word order. He
also demonstrated the ability to define specific categories which demonstrates his
understanding of grouping of semantic information.

XX’s overall Total Test score of 115 placed him at the top end of the average range
when compared to his same age peers. Overall, XX presents with the ability to use
appropriate semantics and syntax in his expressive language.
