Guidance for the Classroom-Based Assessment of Multilingual Learners: Assessing Languages, Literacy, and Learning Across the Curriculum is now available! Carol developed this publication for UNESCO and UNICEF EAPRO with many inputs from colleagues and friends. It aims to raise awareness about the capabilities of multilingual learners; enhance knowledge regarding the importance of language choices in teaching, learning, and assessment; support systematic planning for the assessment of multilingual learners; and help educators develop practical strategies for teaching and learning that enhance multilingualism and multiliteracies.

"You don't say there are too many languages in the world. Languages are keys to knowledge. The more languages you know, the more keys to treasure houses you have. If you know all the other languages and don't know your language, that is called enslavement. If you know your language and add all the other languages, that is called empowerment."

“这个世界上的语言不会过多。语言是通往知识的钥匙。你懂的语言越多，你就拥有越多通往知识宝库的钥匙。如果你懂所有其他语言却不懂自己的语言，那叫做被奴役。如果你懂你自己的语言并且也掌握其他所有的语言，那叫做掌握主动权。”
