| Abstract | The Lau Remedies, federal recommendations to help school districts comply with the law in providing education for non-English-speaking children, raised questions of language assessment and resulted in a variety of language tests. Four years later, an examination of 46 currently available language tests, in the context of commonly accepted notions about the structure of language and the general question of language acquisition in relation to development, reveals that they all measure different things, with none measuring all of the aspects thought to be important. None was specifically designed to meet Lau Remedies requirements. The problem identified by the Lau decision may be much broader than previously thought, a complex sociocultural and economic disparity between different peoples living in the United States, and the solution implied by the decision is symptomatic of the problem that produced the litigation. Educators are cautioned to make the education of children their primary concern. The appendix provides a list of the language tests examined; a three-page list of references follows. (MSE) |
