Abstract:

The field of multilingual testing and assessment has grown rapidly in recent
years due to the widespread need to integrate immigrant populations into
mainstream education and to provide fair and equitable forms of assessment for
all students. However, a continuing emphasis on bilingual students has created
a significant gap in testing and assessment research. This book addresses the
need for research and guidance on testing multilingual students: at its heart
is the difference between designing multilingual tests and testing
multilingual individuals. The author introduces an integrated approach to
testing and assessment, a flexible approach that combines information about
multilingual learners' knowledge, skills and abilities with information about
their language background and living environment. The book provides an
overview of existing research conducted with multilingual populations;
provides guidelines for test-writers, teachers and educators that outline the
steps involved in the design, administration, scoring and interpretation of
tests for multiple language speakers; and demonstrates how to use the
integrated approach to testing and assessment in a multilingual educational
context.
