An evaluation of the test for auditory comprehension of language

The present study was designed to determine the internal consistency and test-retest consistency of the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language (TACL) for a group of normally hearing and regularly educated children. Fifty-five children were randomly selected from three elementary schools and were administered the TACL exactly as described in the test's manual. From these 55 children, 30 were randomly selected and retested. The results indicated that the test was internally consistent but not consistent upon retesting.
