1201: Elicitation - Getting Started

Overview
Because people apply their language differently in different sampling contexts, the decision of which sampling context to use is very important. The different sampling contexts covered in this course will help you choose the appropriate sampling context for clients of various ages and abilities. You will also learn techniques for eliciting consistent and useful language samples. Equipment needs, specifically digital recorders and playback systems, are also discussed.
