The Adaptation of the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) to Faroese

Abstract

This paper describes the adaptation of the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) to Faroese. It first provides a brief overview of the Faroese language and language learning context in the Faroe Islands, and then the adaption process is described. The use of MAIN in the Faroe Islands until now is outlined as well as the future research contexts in which the use of MAIN could be valuable.
