Understanding Assessment - Purpose, Perception, Practice

This book is written specifically for teachers-in-training which will clarify the 'big picture' of monitoring and assessment and makes the crucial distinctions in this large (and still taken-for-granted) field. There has been a huge effort over the last decade to bolster external, summative assessment (ie SATs) which has distorted teachers' perceptions of the potential of good formative assessment to raise achievement.

This book addresses the principles and practice of educational assessment in a manner that is relevant and accessible to the student teacher. It takes on the whole canvass from marking to public examinations and is guided by the authors' concerns to make the 'big picture' meaningful and coherent for the new teacher.

Teaching Children with English as An Additional Language A Programme for 7-11 year olds

Here is a typical classroom scenario: out of the 30 children, two-thirds speak a different language at home and only speak English at school. Even though many pupils' English skills are almost non-existent, teachers are expected to provide the national curriculum for every child in the class.

"Teaching Children English as an Additional Language" solves this problem with a 10-week teaching programme of units and lesson activities for children aged 7-11 (Key Stage 2) new to English. It will help these children learn some very basic English sentences, questions and vocabulary, to get them through regular day-to-day routines more easily.

By offering a flexible step by step approach this book helps EAL teachers to: identify learners' individual needs teach grammar and vocabulary support teaching through speaking and listening assess pupils to inform future planning. The programme also contains emergency lessons to support learners in the first three days, cross curricular links, ways of using a home-school learning book and an opportunity for the child to make a booklet about themselves.

It fosters the child's home language, incorporates different learning styles as well as including a wealth of carefully tailored, themed resources. The programme is complete with activities, resources and assessment materials and helpful tips on how to develop a successful EAL department.
