摘要:Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State for English Language Learners (ACCESS for ELLS), a large-scale, high-stakes, standards-based, and criterion-referenced language proficiency test developed by the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) Consortium and administered in US-based K-12 classrooms, is reviewed. Fox notes that ACCESS for ELLS is distinguished from other No Child Left Behind language proficiency tests is (1) the size of the consortium of states using the test, which has grown to 24; (2) the number of resources to situate the test within pedagogical practice; and (3) the care with which WIDA has attempted to systematically align the test with proficiency standards and classroom practice.
