A Scottish Childhood by Ann Burnett
This book brings together 13 original research papers that address emerging issues in the assessment of Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) in five major areas, including standards in CSL assessment; development of CSL tests; assessment of diverse knowledge and skills; computer-supported assessment; and CSL assessment in relation to instruction and teachers' assessment competence. It goes beyond the psychometric testing of Chinese and provides cutting-edge examinations of the interfaces of assessment with sociology of language, acquisition, pedagogy, and modern technologies, as well as teacher education. Given its unique features and broad range of topics, the book offers an intriguing and valuable resource, not only for scholars and researchers but also teacher educators and assessment practitioners who are directly or indirectly involved in CSL assessment.
Burnett, Ann: - I've been a writer ever since I was a child and I've written all kinds of things. I started off writing for children, producing a Postman Pat story for a comic every week for five years; I've written over 100 radio and TV scripts for BBC children's programmes and along the way, I've had short stories and articles published in many magazines as well as online. I came to novel writing late; I did a Masters in Creative Writing at Glasgow University and decided that for my dissertation it was easier to write a novel rather than ten different short stories. So I wrote 'Loving Mother' about a mother and her daughter and the arrival of someone claiming to be the mother's child that she gave up at birth. It's still available on Amazon. My tag line is 'Writer of Many Things' which just about sums me up. I now live on the east coast of Scotland after many years on the west and have discovered a wealth of history in the area which, of course, I'm writing articles about.
