Description
Assessment for Learning in Primary Language Learning and Teaching by Maria Britton provides a detailed account of incorporating Assessment for Learning (AfL) into primary language classrooms. Eight experienced teachers share their approaches to AfL, discussing its impact on primary language learning and the relationship between AfL and language development in childhood. The book explores various assessment methods suitable for primary-aged learners, those that support learner agency and engagement, and potential paths forward for implementing and researching AfL in primary language contexts. Its findings are relevant to global contexts, making it a valuable resource for postgraduate students, researchers, and primary language teachers seeking to improve their practice. This book is an essential guide for anyone interested in language education, teacher education, or improving assessment methods in primary language learning.
