"Each chapter of this book is written by an expert in their particular content area. A summary of research is provided. The next section contains a guide to developing language assessments. The chapters conclude with case studies. Tables, figures, images, and charts are included in each chapter. The book is divided into five sections. Part 1: Background focuses on foundational knowledge that speech-language pathologists need when assessing language with multilingual clients (i.e., linguistics and the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health or WHO-ICF). Alternative forms of assessment such as dynamic assessments are described in Part II: Methods of Assessment. Examples of different forms of language assessment are provided in Part III: Specific Examples of Global Assessments. Part IV includes assessment of language disorders and Part V describes adult language assessment"-- Provided by publisher.
