Abstract

Language plays a central role in people's information exchange and mutual understanding and an irreplaceable role in children's language communication. In line with the operational procedures of the systematic review and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this study conducted three screenings of relevant literature on Chinese children's language competence evaluation from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and VIP Journal Information Platform (VJIP). Finally, a total of 65 papers of empirical studies were selected for a systematic review. The review shows that current tools for the assessment of Chinese children’s language competence are modelled on the standard reference test. This study proposed three suggestions on the improvement of children's language competence evaluation tool system, comprehensive application of various children language competence evaluation tools, and the development of evaluation tools for special children.
