First Day Reflection

❝If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.❞
‒Nelson Mandela



Skimming through the first chapter of our text brought back unpleasant memories of my undergrad Evaluation and Assessment class with a professor who should have taught graduate level courses.  As a grad student who experienced the graduate Reading program already, I am feeling even more confident now with having to assess ELLs.  This Language Assessment class along with the Linguistics class which I am also taking this semester will open a new door to understanding second language learners.  I am looking forward to gaining new knowledge on this highly demanding field.  Let's have a fun semester!
