style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>This article reviews
historical and contemporary policies, ideologies, and educational prescriptions
for language-minority students. It notes language and literacy policies
historically have been used as instruments of social control and that racism
and linguistic intolerance have often been closely linked with antecedents in
the colonial and early nationalistic periods as well as in nativists thought of
the 19th century. The article concludes that the contemporary English-only and
antibilingual education movements share features reminiscent of the restrictionism
of early periods. The article next assesses policies of the federal and state
governments in accommodating language-minority students. Current debates over
appropriate assessment of language-minority students are backgrounded against
the history of the testing movement. Recent research on high-stakes testing is
reviewed with the conclusion that it is not improving the quality of teaching
and learning and appears to be having a negative effect for language-minority
students.</span></font></p>
