An Ethnographic/Sociolinguistic Approach to Language Proficiency Assessment

The papers presented in this volume have been drawn together because each presents some aspect of ethnographic research methodology or a theoretical perspective involving an ethnographic approach to language testing that contributes to the improvement of bilingual language proficiency assessment. The motivation for the use of ethnographic methods is a concern with the apparent inadequacies of current methods of language proficiency assessment of language minority students. While many criticisms have been made of tests of written and spoken language skills that are currently used, the major weakness of such tests, from a sociolinguistic and ethnographic perspective, is that they fail to consider the consequences and implications of functional differentiation in the use of two languages by the bilingual 1 child.
