'Linguistic assessment' is a socio-linguistic activity to inquire into adequacy of language activities or policies, of individuals, groups or organizations under certain circumstances. This paper focuses on English education in the age of multiculturalism and, employing the procedures of linguistic assessment, evaluates several cases in the field of English education. The aims of this paper are 1. to clarify general frames and viewpoints of assessment for English education in multicultural societies, 2. to carry out assessments of several cases in this field, and 3. to show the effectiveness of 'linguistic assessment' in realizing teaching activities that meet the needs of autonomous learners in the age of globalization. The key concepts of assessment are 'acceptance of varieties', 'unprejudiced view of languages', 'relevance to the scenes' and 'definite goals to reach.'
