Through an equity lens, this book provides a comprehensive guide for assessing linguistically and culturally diverse learners in K-12 contexts.

Tying together theory and practice, this introductory book provides both theoretical foundations for equity issues in language assessment and practical approaches to designing listening, speaking, reading, and writing assessments. The book guides teachers and teacher candidates through the linguistic and cultural demands of assessments, the impact of large-scale testing on second language and multilingual learners, rubric development, and practical applications for creating authentic, engaging construct-driven assessments for K-12 students. Through the lens of equity, reliability, and validity, it is a resource for serving the increasingly diverse student population in schools today.

This is a foundational textbook for students and teacher candidates in TESOL, ESL/EFL, world language, heritage language, and bilingual education programs.
