Overview
The Test of Expressive Language (TEXL; Carrow-Woolfolk & Allen, 2014) is an individually-administered, norm-referenced measure of expressive spoken language skills designed for use with individuals aged 3 years through 12 years, 11 months. The TEXL was co-normed with the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language – Fourth Edition (TACL-4), and when both measures are used, the scores can be combined to obtain a comprehensive measure of language ability across linguistic features, as well as an overall oral language ability using the TACL-4/TEXL Summary form found at https://www.proedinc.com/Downloads/TACL-4_TEXL_ComprehensiveScoringSupplement.pdf. Within the TEXL, three categories of language forms are assessed: Vocabulary; Grammatical Morphemes; and Elaborated Phrases and Sentences.
