Blurb:

Chapter 6 describes the final datasets employed for the creation of the finalised KVL. Participant numbers are summarised by four background variables. A descriptive overview of item response numbers and estimated difficulties is given, plus an account of the analytic process for a non-technical audience. Additionally, the rank orders to emerge from the groups of participants from the three different language backgrounds are compared, followed by justification for the compilation of a customized KVL for each L1 group.
