How one approaches ong>theong> assessment ong>ofong> 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 ong>ofong> assessing language are based on three different ong>perspectivesong> defining language ong>andong> its uses: anthropological, socio-psycholinguistic, ong>andong> literary. Although applying ong>theong>se ong>perspectivesong> to language is not new, only recently have educators ong>andong> oong>theong>rs taken seriously ong>theong> need for assessment ong>ofong> language to be consistent with ong>theong> ong>perspectivesong> ong>ofong> 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, ong>theong> assessment ong>ofong> language ong>andong> literacy must also be based upon such principles.
