Description

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.



Updated edition of key textbook exploring multilingual assessment

Reviews
I wish I had this outstanding book when I was a bilingual teacher! Mahoney demystifies psychometric principles and practices with real-world classroom examples and provides a useful tool for teachers to make appropriate informed decisions about the development, use, and interpretation of formative and summative assessments with multilingual learners. * Wayne E. Wright, Purdue University, USA *
This is one of the most important and influential textbooks about the assessment of children learning English as a second language in K-12 public schools to date. It is engaging, grounded in a useful analytical framework, and takes a critical stance on standardized testing with English learners. Kate Mahoney provides a student-friendly overview of psychometrics through an equity and social justice lens. In short, this book is stellar. * Mary Carol Combs, University of Arizona, USA *
Kate Mahoney's invaluable and much-loved textbook has been widely adopted in teacher education programs because it offers a thorough, practical, and accessible introduction to the assessment of multilingual learners. Its expertly crafted guidance and innovative framework is essential for educators, as it provides the tools needed to make informed assessment decisions, while taking up a critical, timely approach and embracing students' bilingual language practices. * Kate Menken, City University of New York (CUNY), USA *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
