ED 623 ESL Multilingual and Multicultural Assessments


(3 credits)
This course focuses on multiple forms of assessment utilized with multilingual students and the role of the context and the purpose of communication in linguistic performance. It focuses both on large-scale assessments as well as classroom-based assessments. It addresses assessments that focus on evaluating language as well as those that look at academic achievement and content knowledge. In particular, the course addresses the often-posed question of distinguishing between language issues and learning issues in assessment.
