ELD STANDARDS
The process of designing and
conducting appropriate periodic reviews
of ELD standards involves dozens of
curriculum and assessment specialists,
teachers, and researchers (researchers
(Fields, 2000; Kuhlman, 2001)

ELD STANDARDS
In creating such benchmarks for accountability
(OMalley & Valdez, 1996), there is a tremendous
responsibility to carry out a comprehensive study
of a
number of domains:
O Literally thousands of categories of languag

ranging from phonology at one end of aranging

from phonology at one end of a continuum to
discourse, pragmatic, functional and
sociolinguistic elements at the other end

O Specification of ELD students needs are, at

thirteen different grade levels, for succeeding in

their academic and social development;
O A consideration of what is a realistic number and

scope of standards to be included within a given

curriculum
O A separate set of standards (qualifications,

expertise, training) for teachers to teach ELD

students successfully in their classrooms
O A thorough analysis of the means available to

assess student attainment of those standards.

ELD ASSESSMENT
The development of standards obviously implies

the responsibility for correctly assessing their

attainment.
It is found that the standardized tests of the past

decades were not in line with newly developed

standards. The interactive process not only of
developing standards but also of creating
standards-based assessment started.
Specialists design, revise and validate many tests.

ELD ASSESSMENT
The California English Language Development

Test (CELDT) is a battery of instruments designed

to assess the attainment of ELD standards across
grade level.
Language and Literacy Assessment Rubric, in

which multiple forms of evidence of students

work are collected.
Teachers observe students year-round and record

their observations on scannable forms.

CASAS AND SCANS

At the higher levels of education
(colleges, community colleges, adults
schools, language schools, and
workplace settings). Standard-based
assessment have also had an
enormous impact.

The competencies cover

language function in terms of:
Resources ( allocating

time,materials,staff,etc)
Interpersonal
skills,teamwork,customer service ,etc)
Imformation processing,evaluating
data,organizing files,etc)
Systems ( e.g.,understanding social
and organizational systems)
Technoogy use and application.

Teacher standards
Kuhlman (2001) emphasized the
importance of standards in three
domains:
1. Linguistics and language
development
2. Culture and the interrelationship
between language and culture.
3. Planning and managing
instruction

TESOL'S standards committe

advocates performance -based
assessment of teachers for the
following reasons:
Teachers can demonstrate the

standards in their teaching .

Teaching can be assessed throught
what teachers do with their learners
in their classroom or virtual
classroom (their performance).
Student learning is at the heart of
the teacher's performance

The Consequence of
Standards-based and
Standardized Testing
Standardized tests offer
highlevels of practically and
reliability and are often
supported by impressive
construct validation studies

Argument about the

consequences of standardized
testing consider the following
interrelated question:
O What about small minority who are not

fairly assessed?
O Regardless of construct validation

studies and correlation statistics, should

further types of performance be elicited
in order to get a more comprehensive
picture of the test taker ?

O Does the proliferation of standardized

tests throughout a young person's life

give rise to test-driven
curricula,diverting the attention of
student from creative or personal
interest and in-depth pursuits?
O Is the standardized test industry in effect

promoting a cultural, social and political

agenda that maintains existing power
structures by assuring opportunity to an
elite (wealthy) class of people?

Test Bias
O Standardized tests involve many test bias

(language, culture, race, gender, learning

styles)
O National Centre for fair and Open Testing
claims of tests bias from: teacher, parents,
students, and legal consultants.
O Standardized tests do not promote logicalmathematical and verbal linguistics to the
virtual exclusions of the other
contextualized, integrative intelligence.

Test Bias
O (Some learners may need to be

assessed with interviews, portfolios,

samples of work, demonstration,
observation report) more formative
assessment rather than summative.
O That would solve test bias problems

but it is difficult to control it in

standardized items.

Test-Driven Learning and

Teaching
O It is another consequence of standardized testing.

When students know that one single measure of

performance will determine their lives they are less
likely to take positive attitudes towards learning.
Extrinsic motivation is not intrinsic.
O Teacher are also affected from test-driven policies.

They are under pressure to make sure their excelled

in the exam, at the risk of ignoring other objectives
in the curriculum. A more serious effect was to
punish schools with lower-socioeconomic
neighborhood.

Ethical Issues: Critical

Language Testing
O One of by-products of rapid growing testing industry

is the danger of an abused of power.

O Shohamy (1997) further defines the issue: Tests

represent a social technology deeply embedded in

education, government and business: tests are
most powerful as they are often the single
indicators for determining the future of individuals.
O Teacher can demonstrate standards in their

teaching.

Ethical Issues: Critical

Language Testing
O Teacher can be assessed through their

classroom performance.
O Performance can be detailed with
indicators: examples of evidence that the
teacher can meet a part of a standard.
O Student learning is at the heart of the
teachers performance.
O The issues of critical language testing are
numerous.
