Abstract:

This volume provides a detailed account of the practical use of Assessment for
Learning (AfL) in primary language classrooms. It gives an in-depth account of
the ways in which eight experienced primary language teachers incorporated
this type of assessment into their practice and discusses the possible impact
of AfL on primary language learning. Key themes discussed in the volume
include the relationship between AfL and language learning in childhood, which
assessment methods are appropriate for primary-aged language learners, which
methods support learner agency and engagement in the learning processes, and
possible paths for future action, with a focus on implementation and
researching AfL in primary language contexts. The findings of this book are
relevant to global contexts and it will be of interest to postgraduate
students and researchers in the fields of language education, language
assessment and teacher education, as well as to primary and language teachers
and school leaders.
