Assessing Multilingual Learners Bridges to Empowerment

"Because I am a believer of process and not product, Assessing Multilingual Learners: Bridges to Empowerment speaks to me. Language learning is all about the journey. Gottlieb weaves current research on the importance of context, social-emotional learning, translanguaging, as well as teacher and student self-efficacy into these eight chapters. She gives examples of how multilingual learners of English (MLE) can thrive in the ever-evolving ecosystem of assessment. She provides opportunities for teachers to take agency when it comes to assessment and go beyond the meso- and macro- levels that may cloud MLE achievement. This is a wonderful "go-to" for those who have questions about navigating language assessment." Sarah Sahr 20231212
