Excellent Resource,
By
This review is from: Authentic Assessment for English Language Learners: Practical Approaches for Teachers (Paperback)
I have just completed a graduate course in Assessment for teachers of ELLs. Almost all of the students in this class, including me, found this book to be a very valuable resource. Some of the information is redundant, but for a teacher looking for ideas on how to construct an authentic assessment of student work (reading, writing, speaking or listening) it is full of great insights and models that can be copied from the book or revised for individual use.

The Best Assessment Book I've Seen,
By ukranium (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Authentic Assessment for English Language Learners: Practical Approaches for Teachers (Paperback)
I bought this for an ESL Assessment class at the graduate level. I also teach ESL at a university, and this book comes in very handy, both in theory and in practice. I especially like the rubrics you give to students so they can assess their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, when working together in groups, students fill out a form after their work is done, stating how well they listened, asked for clarification, or offered/asked for opinions. I continue to use this book long after I've taken the class, and I believe this is the best assessment book out there. Don't waste your time (or money) on books like "ESL Assessment: On the Yellow Big Road to the Withered of Oz" (or whatever the title of that book is!)
Buy this book and you won't regret it. A winner!

A Teachers Dream,
By Heidi Rogers (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Authentic Assessment for English Language Learners: Practical Approaches for Teachers (Paperback)
This book is awesome for any teacher. Not only does it discuss many aspects dealing with authentic assessment and the importance of it, but it also gives many examples of how it can be used in an actual classroom (more applicable to LA learning, however it can be used with any subject). I loved this book because it will be a great resource for my classroom. I reccommend it to any teacher.
