The Feasibility of Test Translation between Unrelated Languages: English to Navajo
Rosenbluth, Annabelle R.
TESOL Quarterly, 10, 1, 33-44, Mar 76
The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts was translated into Navajo to investigate whether an English test can be translated into Navajo in a form suitable for assessing the language development of K-2 level Navajos. Differences were in: syntactic difficulty, organization of experience into concepts, accidental similarity of words, ranges of meaning. (SCC)
