Lynn Thompson, of the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) in Washington, DC, began the preparation of this document during the 1994-1995 year, as part of CAL's subcontract with the National K-12 Foreign Language Resource Center. During this year, she completed a national search to identify assessment instruments used in foreign language education in kindergarten through eighth grade. An annotated bibliography of those instruments was prepared and published by ERIC in print format as the "K-8 Foreign Language Assessment: A Bibliography" (148 pages).

Because of the growing interest in assessment and the constant development of new instruments, an update to the bibliography was prepared during the 1995-96 year. For the revision, K-8 classroom teachers were asked to submit instruments they use in their classrooms for possible inclusion. This document was then published by the Center for Applied Linguistics and Delta Systems.
