Bilingual Student Writers: A Question of Fair Evaluation.
Reyes, Maria de la Luz
English Journal, v80 n8 p16-23 Dec 1991
Discusses issues of fairness in the evaluation of bilingual writers. Warns of problems posed for them by the process approach to writing instruction. Describes a case study which suggests that even assessment procedures claimed to be holistic are biased against bilingual students. Compares one student's Spanish and English writing samples, noting stark differences. (PRA)
