• Assessment techniques for identifying learning disabilities and measuring proficiency in English

Recensione:

"Tackles the very difficult issue of why ELLs are disproportionately represented in special education and how, as educators, we need to look at our assessments to verify that there is a true need for referral versus a lack of understanding of the language acquisition process." (Christine Engel, ESL Teacher 2007-11-05)

"Distinguishing learning disabilities from language acquisition issues has always been difficult. This book is relevant to many educators." (James Becker, ELL Teacher 2007-11-05)

"We need better assessment strategies to determine learning disabilities in ELL students. This book is highly relevant as not only does it address this issue, but offers practical suggestions and approaches to remedy the problem." (Anne Beveridge, Coordinator of Primary Years Program 2007-11-05)
