Scales describing language proficiency in a series of levels can provide orientation for educational programmes, criteria for assessment, and reporting to stakeholders. However, in most cases such instruments are produced just by expert opinion. A scale of language proficiency actually implies a descriptive scheme related to theory but usable by practitioners. It also implies a methodology for scaling content to different levels. This book describes the use of both qualitative and quantitative techniques to develop scales for the «Common Reference Levels» in the Common European Framework of Reference for modern languages. Short stand-alone descriptors were (i) developed and classified, (ii) refined and elaborated in workshops, and then (iii) scaled by analyzing the judgments of one hundred teachers on the English language proficiency of the learners in their classes.

Talent Development for English Language Learners offers concrete guidance to teachers, schools, and administrators seeking to maximize the potential of all of their students. Each chapter will focus thematically on an issue relevant to developing the talents and potential of gifted English language learners (ELLs) in inclusive educational settings. Examples of how schools or educators might conventionally conceptualize and handle the issues related to ELLs and what the concerns or unintended negative outcomes are for gifted ELLs are provided. The authors focus on what an “ideal” response might be from the lens of both the gifted education and the language education field, and how collaborative efforts across these perspectives yield effective interventions in schools and related educational settings for students who are both English language learners and highly academically able.

English Language Proficiency Assessments for Young Learners provides both theoretical and empirical information about assessing the English language proficiency of young learners. Using large-scale standardized English language proficiency assessments developed for international or U.S. contexts as concrete examples, this volume illustrates rigorous processes of developing and validating assessments with considerations of young learners' unique characteristics. In this volume, young learners are defined as school-age children from approximately 5 to 13 years old, learning English as a foreign language (EFL) or a second language (ESL). This volume also discusses innovative ways to assess young learners' English language abilities based on empirical studies, with each chapter offering stimulating ideas for future research and development work to improve English language assessment practices with young learners. English Language Proficiency Assessments for Young Learners is a useful resource for students, test developers, educators, and researchers in the area of language testing and assessment.

The National Accessible Reading Assessment Projects (NARAP) is a collaboration of two projects funded by the U.S. Department of Education to conduct research and development on accessible reading assessments for students with disabilities that affect reading. The goal of these projects is to produce research findings and assessment techniques that demonstrate how large-scale assessments of reading proficiency can become more accessible and valid for all students, while also meeting the assessment requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Understanding the need for accessible assessments is key to determining the steps that must be taken to develop such assessments. One of the first steps in designing accessible assessments is the precise definition of constructs being measured. Such definitions permit construct-relevant factors to be distinguished from construct-irrelevant factors, thus facilitating the removal of barriers to accessibility while maintaining valid measurement of the constructs of interest. Similarly, distinguishing various components of the construct may facilitate development of assessments that can reveal strengths in some components that would otherwise be masked by weaknesses in other components. Thus, one of NARAP's first tasks was to develop a definition of "reading proficiency." In order to accomplish this, NARAP collected information in a variety of ways, including: (1) reviewing existing definitions of reading proficiency (e.g., various reports about reading including the NRP, RAND, PISA, PIRLS); (2) convening a panel of experts to provide input; and (3) conducting focus groups. This paper is a synthesis of the information collected and describes a set of principles and key unresolved issues described under each principle. These principles and issues will guide the next phases of the project (research and development). This paper does not focus on the assessment itself; rather, the assessment developed will be informed by the research and then addressed in a separate paper focusing on the principles and guidelines of accessible assessments.
