Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Bilingual/Bicultural Education

Description:

Assessment is indispensable in any language/ culture learning situation and for a wide variety of purposes, e.g. proficiency, placement, achievement, diagnosis, aptitude. All teachers in monolingual and bilingual classrooms need to understand the purposes, principles, procedures of assessment and how to construct assessment tools and interpret their data. In bilingual situations where more than one language and culture are involved, teachers should be aware of language and culture interfacing and guard against biases, misconceptions and misinterpretations. Participants in this course should be able to critique, evaluate and construct different assessment tools ranging from testing to portfolio and performance-based.
