Abstract:

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the topic of assessing
students who use two or more languages in their daily life. The book
provides foundational information for assessing multilingual learners
(MLs) in schools, with an emphasis on school language and content.
Major assessment ideas are viewed through a framework called PUMI
(Purpose, Use, Method and Instrument) to help readers focus on
important assessment principles, leading to better quality assessments
for MLs.

This is a substantially revised and updated second edition of The
Assessment of Emergent Bilinguals. Updates in this edition include a
greater focus on multilingual assessment and assessment in language
contexts in addition to English/Spanish. This edition addresses both
the current politics of multilingual assessment and recent theoretical
developments, including an expanded exploration of translanguaging in
assessment contexts. This edition aims to be more practical than the
first edition, with more examples of assessments and rubrics, and a
greater emphasis on using assessment results in formative ways.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
