Learning through Teaching: Is Testing Crippling Integrated Language Education?

Mayher, John S.; Brause, Rita S.

Language Arts, v63 n4 p390-96 Mar 1986

Addresses two concerns about how educational reforms are being carried out: (1) the definitions being used to determine what is basic in education, and (2) the tests being used to measure those "basic skills." Suggests some solutions for teachers who recognize the legitimacy of public concern and the necessity of public support. (HTH)
