Linguistic Accommodations For ELLs Participating In The .
Linguistic Accommodations for ELLs Participating inthe STAAR Program Linguistic accommodations are language supports that decrease the language barrier ELLs experiencewhen learning and demonstrating knowledge and skills in English. The Texas English Language ProficiencyStandards (ELPS) require all teachers to linguistically accommodate the instruction of ELLs in their classescommensurate with the students’ English language proficiency levels. Policies for the STAAR linguisticaccommodations support these ELPS requirements.Overview of the STAAR Assessments for ELLsThe chart below shows the ways in which the language needs of ELLs are addressed in the STAARprogram.STAAR(3–8 and EOC)STAAR Spanish§§ General state assessments§§ Some linguistic accommodations permitted§§ Taken by ELLs who do not qualify for another assessment below§§ Native language assessments; grades 3–5 only; same subjects as STAAR§§ Taken by ELLs for whom a Spanish version of STAAR exists and most appropriatelymeasures their academic progress§§ Linguistic accommodations not permitted because students testing in their nativelanguage§§ Linguistically accommodated STAAR mathematics, science, and social studiesassessments§§ More substantial linguistic accommodations than for STAAR§§ May be administered to ELLs who—STAAR L* are not most appropriately assessed with STAAR Spanish, ANDhave not yet attained a TELPAS advanced high reading rating in grade 2 or above,ANDhave been enrolled in U.S. schools for 3 years or less (5 years or less if a qualifyingasylee or refugee)§§ Assessments for students with disabilities, including those who are ELLs, who meeteligibility requirementsSTAAR A§§ Some linguistic accommodations permitted§§ Assessments for students receiving special education services, including those whoSTAAR Alternate 2are ELLs, who meet requirements for an alternate assessment based on alternateachievement standards§§ No specified list of allowable linguistic accommodations; assessment design allows forany language or other communication method routinely used with the student*For the STAAR L EOC assessments, eligibility can be carried over from spring to the July and December administrations.Refer to the ELL Assessments webpage for more detailed information aboutthe STAAR assessment program participation requirements for ELLs.Linguistic Accommodations During InstructionLinguistically accommodating the instruction of ELLs involves communicating with them in ways theycurrently understand while sequencing and scaffolding instruction to foster the learning of grade-levelEnglish and academic content. Linguistically accommodated instruction is differentiated through use ofinstructional materials, techniques, and tools that meet the needs of ELLs.Texas Education AgencyStudent Assessment Division2016 Calendar Year1 of 7
As ELLs learn English, the types of linguistic accommodations that are most suitable change, and the needfor particular accommodations lessens. It is important for teachers to stay attuned to the English languageproficiency levels of their ELLs so that they can monitor and adjust the linguistic accommodations as thestudents learn more English. By doing this, teachers support the learning of both subject matter andEnglish.In the classroom, linguistic accommodations§§ help ELLs understand the language of instruction, and§§ accelerate the learning of both subject matter and English.Linguistic Accommodations for the STAAR ProgramNot all linguistic accommodations suitable for instruction are appropriate or allowable during stateassessments. This stems from the differing purposes of instruction and state assessments. The goalof instruction and linguistic accommodations used in instruction is to foster and support learning. Thepurpose of STAAR is to measure the degree to which students have met state curriculum and performancestandards. Linguistic accommodation policies for STAAR differ from instructional accommodations in thefollowing ways.§§ Linguistic accommodations permitted during the STAAR reading and writing assessments arelimited. Accommodations on state assessments must not alter what is fundamentally assessed.The STAAR linguistic accommodation policies for reading and writing differ from those formathematics, science, and social studies because of the integral role language plays in theassessment of grade-level English language arts. Providing too much language assistance inan assessment of language arts might fundamentally alter the ability to measure how well thestudent reads and writes in English in accordance with the grade-level standards.§§ The more substantial degree of linguistic accommodation provided through STAAR L is allowableonly for a certain number of years because ELLs are expected to make strides in learning Englisheach year. A student who proceeds from STAAR L to STAAR is expected to need limited linguisticaccommodations.§§ In addition to the linguistic accommodations allowed for STAAR, STAAR A allows for clarification inEnglish of word meaning. This difference takes into account the unique learning needs of studentswith disabilities who qualify for STAAR A.Not all linguistic accommodations suitable for instructionare appropriate or allowable during state assessments.Decision-Making AuthorityThe language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC) makes and documents test participation decisionsfor ELLs as well as decisions about which accommodations to provide during state assessments. In thecase of an ELL with a disability, the decision is made by the applicable group in conjunction with thestudent’s LPAC. The decision is to be documented by the LPAC in the student’s permanent record file andby the other applicable group.§§ More information about decision-making and documentation procedures for ELLs is available fromthe ELL Assessments webpage.§§ Detailed information about accommodations for students with disabilities can be found on theAccommodation Resources webpage.Texas Education AgencyStudent Assessment Division2016 Calendar Year2 of 7

Students who do not need either accommodation shouldtake STAAR, not STAAR L.†The STAAR Dictionary Policy for reading and writing in grade 6 and above includes use of Standard English, ESL (simplifiedEnglish), and bilingual dictionaries for all students. If a student in grade 6 and above needs a dictionary as a linguisticaccommodation that is not listed in the STAAR Dictionary Policy, the use of the other dictionaries listed on page 5 of thisdocument are permitted as a linguistic accommodation in grades 3 and above. For grades 3-5 reading and grade 4 writing, use ofdictionaries is permitted as a linguistic accommodation for eligible ELLs.When receiving linguistic accommodations, students may not beprovided any direct or indirect assistance or reinforcement thatidentifies or aids in identifying a correct response to the test question.Texas Education AgencyStudent Assessment Division2016 Calendar Year3 of 7
Eligibility Criteria for Linguistic AccommodationsLPAC decisions regarding linguistic accommodations to be provided during a state assessment should bebased on the student’s particular need for second language acquisition support1 and whether the studentuses the accommodation routinely in classroom instruction and assessment. Providing unfamiliar linguisticaccommodations might hinder rather than help the student.Dictionaries as Linguistic Accommodations for ELLs Taking STAAR, STAAR L, orSTAAR AThe dictionaries included in the linguistic accommodation policy for ELLs taking STAAR, STAAR L, andSTAAR A are described below. Reminder: The STAAR linguistic accommodation policies pertain to Englishversion assessments only.Dictionary1. Bilingual dictionary (word/phrase translation dictionary)A bilingual dictionary is a specialized standard dictionary used to translate words (andsometimes common phrases) from one language to another. Bilingual dictionaries aretypically bidirectional so that the user can look up words in either language to findtranslations.Examples of translated words—English to Spanish (useful when reading in English)evenlyuniformemente; imparcialmente, equitativamentelive broadcast emisión en directophotosynthesisfotosíntesisExamples of translated words — Spanish to English (useful when writing in English)cita appointment, meeting; date; quotationdecepcionardébildisappointweakBilingual dictionaries often include pronunciation symbols, parts of speech, and in someinstances clarifying information and examples for multiple-meaning words, phrasalverbs, and idiomatic or other expressions.Allowed for—STAAR, STAAR L, andSTAAR A all subjects andcourses§§ Linguistic accommodationfor mathematics, science,and social studies(all grades) grades 3–5 reading andgrade 4 writing§§ Reminder: Allowed forgrade 6 and up readingand writing as part of theSTAAR Dictionary Policy(not treated as a linguisticaccommodation)Example — English to Spanishage [eIƷ] noun (general) edad; old age vejez; (period) época; (fam: long time)we waited for ages esperamos una eternidad; verb envejecerThe Spanish translation for the word “age” is a different word in each case.NOTE: Students who do not understand a translated word in their native languagewill not be helped by a bilingual dictionary. In addition, to use this type of dictionaryeffectively, an ELL needs a basic foundation of English, native language literacy, and theability to use parts of speech and contextual information to narrow down the correcttranslation.2. English/ESL dictionary (monolingual)Unlike bilingual dictionaries, English dictionaries enable students to look up definitionsof English words. The definitions in standard English dictionaries are sometimesdifficult for ELLs to understand. English dictionaries that define words in simpler Englishare termed ESL dictionaries for the Texas assessment program. In addition to usingsimpler English, ESL dictionaries sometimes include pictures to make word meaningclear.STAAR and STAAR Agrades 3–8 reading andgrades 4 and 7 writingSTAAR English I, EnglishII, and English III andSTAAR A English I andEnglish II§§ Linguistic accommodationbelow grade 6§§ Same reminder as abovefor grade 6 and up1 econd language acquisition support refers to the special language assistance that ELLs need as they learn English.

It does NOT refer to the type of assistance that a student (whether ELL or not) might need when havingdifficulty learning academic content.Texas Education AgencyStudent Assessment Division2016 Calendar Year4 of 7
3. Monolingual dictionary in languages other than EnglishThis is a single-language standard dictionary in a language other than English (e.g., aVietnamese dictionary). While it is not included in the STAAR program dictionary policyfor reading and writing, it is permitted as a linguistic accommodation in grade 3 andabove.STAAR and STAAR Agrades 3–8 readingand grades 4 and 7writing STAAR English I,English II, and English IIIand STAAR A English Iand English II§§ Linguistic accommodationin grade 3 and up4. Picture dictionaryA picture dictionary is designed to convey word meaning through drawings orphotographs. Picture dictionaries (which might be monolingual, bilingual, ormultilingual) include only words that can be pictured. Some picture dictionaries groupwords by topic rather than in alphabetic order, which makes it difficult to look upunfamiliar words encountered on an assessment. Picture dictionaries are not includedin the STAAR program dictionary policy for reading and writing assessments but arepermitted as a linguistic accommodation.NOTE: Because picture dictionaries contain a small body of English words comparedto other types of dictionaries, they have limited usefulness as a stand-alone linguisticaccommodation.STAAR and STAAR Agrades 3–8 readingand grades 4 and 7writing STAAR English I,English II, and English IIIand STAAR A English Iand English II§§ Linguistic accommodationin grade 3 and upAlthough thesauruses are not required, they are allowable on STAAR reading, writing, English I,English II, and English III tests and STAAR A reading, writing, English I and English II tests, either incombination with a dictionary or as a separate resource.Detailed information about the STAAR Dictionary Policy can be found at ing/.Allowable Paper and Electronic Dictionary FormatsWithin the four categories above, a wide variety of dictionaries and dictionary formats areavailable. Keep the following in mind when determining what is allowable for the STAAR program:§§ Paper and electronic dictionary formats (including hand-held electronic devices) arepermitted.§§ Districts are required to have procedures in place to prevent the use of cell phones andpersonal electronic devices during test administrations. Electronic devices can disrupt thetesting environment and compromise the security and confidentiality of the test. Whenusing technology-based accommodations (e.g., electronic dictionary), students are NOTpermitted Internet access during testing.§§ Subject-specific/topic-specific dictionaries (bilingual or otherwise) are NOT permitted(e.g., science dictionaries, academic language dictionaries, etc.).§§ Bilingual dictionaries must be word/phrase translation dictionaries only. They must NOTbe designed to define words or to illustrate or explain content terminology or concepts.§§ Bilingual, ESL, and standard monolingual dictionaries that contain occasional pictures areacceptable as long as the pictures do not illustrate content terminology or concepts.§§ Electronic devices that translate beyond the level of words and set phrases are notbilingual dictionaries and are NOT permitted.§§ Electronic devices that have Internet or photographic capabilities are NOT allowed.§§ Only dictionaries made available by reputable dictionary publishing companies should beused (no dictionaries produced by school districts or service centers, no downloadablebilingual word lists with disclaimers about translation accuracy, etc.). A list of stateapproved dictionaries will not be issued.Texas Education AgencyStudent Assessment Division2016 Calendar Year5 of 7
Other Linguistic Accommodations for STAAR, STAAR L, and STAAR ALinguistic AccommodationExtra time (same day)This accommodation allows a student to have extra time within the regularly scheduledschool day to complete the assessment. (Schools with both morning and afternoontest sessions should be aware that students using this accommodation must be ina morning session.) This accommodation is permitted for ELLs who need and areroutinely provided extra time when completing assignments and assessments thatrequire substantial comprehension or use of a substantial amount of English. Decisionsto provide this accommodation should be based on second language acquisition factorsrelated to the time the ELL needs to read meaningfully in English or write a meaningfulresponse, as applicable. Factors that are not ELL-specific (e.g., test anxiety, test-takingstrategies, etc.) should not be considered in decisions to provide this accommodation.Clarification in English of word meaning—mathematics, science,social studiesAllowed for—STAAR,STAAR L,and STAAR Aall subjects and coursesSTAAR L onlineassessmentsThis accommodation enables a student taking STAAR L to receive computer-providedclarification assistance by clicking on eligible words and phrases in the test questions.This accommodation is provided in the online interface for all students taking STAAR L.Clarification in English of meaning of words in test questions—mathematics, reading, writing, science, social studiesSTAAR A assessmentsThis accommodation provides the same type of clarification as for STAAR and STAAR Lexcept for the following: STAAR A clarification in English is extended to the multiplechoice questions for reading and writing assessments and for grades 4 and 7 writingand English I and English II. The test administrator must be careful not to clarify wordmeaning in a way that cues answers to questions assessing spelling, mechanics, orgrammar. For example, the test administrator is not permitted to clarify the meaning oftested words in questions assessing homonyms. NOTE: An Off-limits Word List is notprovided for STAAR A.Clarification in English of meaning of words in the STAAR A grades 3–8reading, grades 4 and 7 writing, and English I and English II selectionsAt the request of the student, the test administrator may clarify the meaning ofoccasional words and phrases the student does not understand in the STAAR A readingand writing selections. The test administrator is not permitted to clarify the meaning ofentire sentences or longer portions of text. To clarify meaning, the test administratormay use simpler English, pictures, or gestures. The test administrator must NOTprovide assistance that aids the student in determining correct answers to testquestions. For reading selections, the test administrator must NOT clarify the meaningof vocabulary, expressions, or other phrasing specifically assessed in a test question.For writing selections, the test administrator must NOT clarify meaning in a way thatprovides cues related to spelling, mechanics, or grammar. For example, if a studentrequests clarification of the meaning of the misspelled word sugest in an editingselection, the test administrator must not comment on the misspelling when clarifyingthe meaning.Clarification in English of word meaning in writing promptsThis accommodation enables a student to ask the test administrator to clarify wordmeaning on the writing prompt pages. The test administrator may provide clarificationof words and phrases. Clarification may be provided on a per request basis only.To clarify meaning, the test administrator may use simpler English, pictures, and/or gestures.
