"Advocacy for ELLs",
By
This review is from: Literacy Assessment of Second Language Learners (Paperback)
The collection of articles contains much valuable information about meeting the instructional needs of ELLs. Ideally, "assessment drives instruction." Improvement of literacy-assessment tools (both informal and formal) will result in better ELL placement and better ELL socioeducational adjustment to school.
