The present research was a pilot study to determine the feasibility of using the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI) to assess Korean children’s narrative abilities. In this study inclusion of Story Grammar (SG) units (i.e., total number and type) in Korean children’s narratives was examined. Participants comprised 60 typically developing Korean children aged 4, 5, and 6. Each child produced two stories from sets of pictures from the ENNI: a simple story (A1) and a complex story (A3). The results revealed that inclusion of SG units increased with age and showed significant linear trends for both the simple and complex stories. Additionally Korean children more frequently included core SG units than noncore SG units. These findings suggest that the ENNI has the potential to be adapted and used to assess Korean children’s narrative abilities.
