1. Assessment of Language Processing Capacity

Multiple research studies with children from varied linguistic backgrounds are summarized as a scientific foundation for the use of information processing/working memory measures to distinguish language difference from underlying language.

2. Dynamic Assessment

In Chapter 2, dynamic assessment is defined. Response to Intervention (RtI), which utilizes principles of dynamic assessment, is discussed and specific examples are given of how to utilize RtI with struggling ELLs to differentiate language difference from language impairment.

3. Checklist—ELL Student Assessment

Chapter 3 provides a reproducible assessment checklist to guide the reader in carrying out a comprehensive and thorough assessment of an ELL with potential language impairment. Specific examples of student work (as they pertain to the checklist) are shown, with explanations about how to interpret these work samples in terms of the diagnosis of an underlying language impairment in an ELL student.
