Alternative Perspectives in Assessing Children's Language

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollong>andong>, Kathleen / Bloome, David / Solsken, Judith, PUBLISHER: Praeger, One of the realities of educational practice in the late 20th century is the increasing role of assessment, especially of children's oral ong>andong> written language. While there are many issues ong>andong> problems surrounding this assessment, one problem that needs to be addressed is the lack of alternative ways of assessing children's language ong>andong> literacy for K-12 practitioners. There are many ways to approach the assessment of language ong>andong> literacy. How one approaches the assessment of oral ong>andong> written language depends, in large part, on how language is defined ong>andong> on what purposes language is viewed as serving. In this book, alternative ways of assessing language are based on three different ong>perspectivesong> defining language ong>andong> its uses: anthropological, socio-psycholinguistic, ong>andong> literary. Although applying these ong>perspectivesong> to language is not new, only recently have educators ong>andong> others taken seriously the need for assessment of language to be consistent with the ong>perspectivesong> of language underlying classroom instruction. Simply put, as language education (including reading, writing, ong>andong> oral language) becomes increasingly based upon anthropological, socio-psycholinguistic, ong>andong> literary principles, the assessment of language ong>andong> literacy must also be based upon such principles. This book discusses ong>andong> illustrates how to reconceptualize assessment in terms of the alternative ong>perspectivesong> outlined here.
