Language Assessment Barriers in Perspective.
Fitzgerald, Jane; Miramontes, Ofelia
Academic Therapy, v23 n2 p135-41 Nov 1987
The article clarifies the role of monolingual English specialists in the pre-referral process for culturally and linguistically different students. To help specialists assess language and learning disorders and plan intervention, a question-and-answer format which describes first language proficiency and relates it to learning English as a second language is suggested.
