CIL 510 Assessment of ESL and Bilingual Education Students
This course focuses on the equitable assessment of English language learners (ELLs). Participants explore the ways assessment of ELLs is conceptualized within larger historical, social, cultural, and political contexts. Using theoretical models that account for the intersection of second language acquisition and academic achievement, participants engage in examining, adapting, or developing effective classroom assessments that measure English language proficiency and content area learning. Participants also review state and national language proficiency and content standards, and examine how they are measured in mandated assessments. Assigned course requirements include the completion of 20 clinical/observation hours Prerequisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
