Mô tả vật lý p185 - p214
Tóm tắt We report on the development and use an analytical framework designed to articulate the language demands English learners (Els) enconter on performance assessments such as those used in inquiry-based science classrooms. The Science Assessment Language Demands (SALD) Framework, ground in funtional and interactional views of language and language use, focuses on participant structures utilized in performance assessment, associated modes of communication called for and writen texts and genres that students are required to read and produce. We employed the SALD Framework to document the range of language demands present in the performance assessments that accompany three fifth-grade science units. The assessments collectively call upon students to engage in four participant structures (whole class, small group, pair and individual), three communicative modes ( interpersonal, interpretive and presentional) and a broad array of genres. These demands may present barriers with regards to Els’ s ability to demonstrate their scientific knowledge and skills. On the other hand, the language involved on performance assessments may also present oppotunities, both for expanding the options Els have for drmonstrating thier understanding and by promoting the development of a wider repertoire of language skills than might be fostered in classroom preparing students for more traditional assessments
