Evaluation of an LD learner’s spelling and written expression through a non- standardized test

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the relevant theory related to the evaluation of a particular learner with learning difficulties (LD).  In the first part, there is a short description of the LD learner’s learning profile, while in the second part, there is a non-standardized test assessing the particular learner in spelling/ written expression. In the third part, there is a miscue analysis of the errors the learner made in the test. Then, in the fourth part, there is a presentation of the difficulties arising from the mistakes made in the test. Finally, there are some aims set in order to improve the learner’s skill that was assessed and overcome all the difficulties he/ she may faces, followed by a conclusion, summarizing all the theoretical concepts mentioned in the previous sections.
