  bibo_abstract:
  - <jats:p>Shy children are characterised by reserved communicative behaviour, especially
    in novel situations or when interacting with unfamiliar interlocutors. Many of
    the contextual elicitors that trigger typical patterns of shyness reactions in
    children, such as gaze aversion, a more distant approach, or general hesitation,
    may be present in typical laboratory settings or in standardised testing situations,
    for example, language assessment tests. In our chapter, we review recent studies
    that operationalise shy children’s communicative behaviour at verbal and nonverbal
    levels with different social partners, such as humans or social robots, as interaction
    partners, providing practitioners with a sound overview of communicative signals
    that are challenging to capture and measure in practical settings. From this,
    we derive critical implications for the design of testing situations for children
    that allow them to unfold their communicative potential and demonstrate their
    linguistic competence, taking into account their individual temperamental characteristics.</jats:p>@eng
