Popis: The Test of Auditory Comprehension of Language (TACL) (Carrow, 1973) was administered on two occasions to two groups of hearing-impaired children. The test was administered in the usual manner (face-to-face, spoken) to children who were being educated by oral methods. The test was also simultaneously spoken and signed to children who were being educated by total-communication methods. Reliability of responses was high for both groups (r = 0.96 for oral-aural and 0.90 for total-communication children) and error patterns were similar. The TACL appears to be an appropriate and reliable instrument for use with hearing-impaired children.
