Testing instruments query

[Steven Morgan]

Dear All,

I wonder if anyone has had experience with either of the following tests:

(1) Tennessee Test of Rhythm and Intonation Patterns (T-TRIP)
(2) Children's Speech Intelligibility Measure (CSIM)

I have contacted the authors of both tests to find out if they knew of any
research that used these tests with normal ESL or EFL students. They are
supportive of the idea, but unaware of any such studies that have used
their tests.

I am interested in finding testing instruments to use for pre- and
post-tests in a research project on the early assimilation of speech rhythm
and intonation of third-grade ESL students in Tokyo. If anyone has had
experience with any other testing instruments along these lines, please
drop me a note.

Thanks.
