Assessment for Learning in Primary Language Learning and Teaching
This volume provides a detailed account of the practical use of
Assessment for Learning (AfL) in primary language classrooms. It
gives an in-depth account of the ways in which eight experienced
primary language teachers incorporated this type of assessment into
their practice and discusses the possible impact of AfL on primary
language learning. Key themes discussed in the volume include the
relationship between AfL and language learning in childhood, which
assessment methods are appropriate for primary-aged language
learners, which methods support learner agency and engagement in
the learning processes, and possible paths for future action, with
a focus on implementation and researching AfL in primary language
contexts. The findings of this book are relevant to global contexts
and it will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers
in the fields of language education, language assessment and
teacher education, as well as to primary and language teachers and
school leaders.

Improving literacy in America
An alarmingly high number of American students continue to lack proficiency in reading, math, and science. The various attempts to address this problem have all too often resulted in \"silver bullet\" solutions such as reducing class size or implementing voucher programs. But as the authors of this critically important book show, improving literacy also requires an understanding of complex and interrelated social issues that shape a child's learning. More than twenty years of research demonstrate that literacy success is determined by a combination of sociocultural forces including parenting, preschool, classroom instruction, and other factors that have a direct impact on a child's development.Here, Frederick J. Morrison, Heather J. Bachman, and Carol McDonald Connor present the most up-to-date research on the diverse factors that relate to a child's literacy development from preschool through early elementary school. Urging greater emphasis on the immediate sources of influence on children, the authors warn against simple, single solutions that ignore other pivotal aspects of the problem. In a concluding chapter, the authors propose seven specific recommendations for improving literacy-recommendations that can make a real difference in American education.
