is to make one national test for each level, for production/comprehension/interaction. Hopefully these will come available sometime around 2015. A1 and A2 are being developed now. Probably we will make a test along the lines of the SLPI (Sign Language Proficiency
Interview) that was developed at NTID/RIT. We are making an adaptation (NFA – NGT Functional Analysis)…. We are basing most of our work on the descriptors made by Lorraine Leeson and her team in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
