PURPOSE The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a novel multi-tiered narrative intervention program-the multimodal narrative (MMN) program-in Catalan that was co-created to boost preschool children's narrative and pragmatic skills. METHOD First, we describe here in detail the novel program, which consisted of a set of interventions oriented around the retelling of a narrative in a multimodal fashion, that is, with an abundant use of appropriate gesture and facial expression and careful attention to the pragmatic aspects of communication. We then describe the results of a self-reported feasibility study (Study 1) after this program was trial-implemented by 31 preschool teachers and speech-language therapists in their respective professional contexts. A pre- and post-intervention pilot study (Study 2) was conducted in which the researchers measured the effect of the MMN intervention on the 51 children who participated in the trial implementation. RESULTS Results from Study 1 revealed that most professionals adhered to the intervention protocol, that they found it enjoyable and easy to implement, and that it fostered active participation on the part of children. Results from Study 2 revealed that after the intervention, the narrative and pragmatic skills of all the children had improved. CONCLUSION These results suggest that a full-fledged implementation of the MMN intervention program is feasible and has the potential to improve children's narrative and pragmatic skills in both clinical and educational contexts.

评估学龄前儿童多层次多模态叙事干预计划的可行性和初步有效性。



目的 本研究旨在评估一种新颖的多层叙事干预计划——加泰罗尼亚语多模态叙事 (MMN) 计划的可行性和初步有效性,该计划旨在提高学龄前儿童的叙事和语用技能。方法 首先,我们在这里详细描述这个新颖的计划,它由一组干预措施组成,这些干预措施围绕着以多模态方式复述叙述,即大量使用适当的手势和面部表情,并仔细关注交流的实用方面。然后,我们描述了 31 名学前教师和语言治疗师在各自的专业环境中试用该计划后自我报告的可行性研究(研究 1)的结果。进行了一项干预前和干预后试点研究(研究 2),研究人员测量了 MMN 干预对参与试验实施的 51 名儿童的影响。结果研究 1 的结果显示,大多数专业人士都遵守干预方案,他们发现它很有趣且易于实施,并且它促进了儿童的积极参与。研究 2 的结果显示,干预后,所有儿童的叙事和语用技能都有所提高。结论 这些结果表明,全面实施 MMN 干预计划是可行的,并且有可能提高儿童在临床和教育环境中的叙事和语用技能。
