Assessing English Language Learners explains and illustrates the
main ideas underlying assessment as an activity intimately linked
to instruction and the basic principles for developing, using,
selecting, and adapting assessment instruments and strategies to
assess content knowledge in English language learners (ELLs).
Sensitive to the professional development needs of both in-service
and pre-service mainstream teachers with ELLs in their classrooms
and those receiving formal training to teach culturally and
linguistically diverse students, the text is designed to engage
readers in viewing assessment as a critical part of teaching
appreciating that assessments provide teachers with valuable
information about their students' learning and thinking becoming
aware of the relationship among language, culture, and testing
understanding the reasoning that guides test construction
recognizing the limitations of testing practices being confident
that assessment is an activity classroom teachers (not only
accountability specialists) can perform Highlighting alternative,
multidisciplinary approaches that address linguistic and cultural
diversity in testing, this text, enhanced by multiple field-tested
exercises and examples of different forms of assessment, is ideal
for any course covering the theory and practice of ELL assessment.
