Reply To: ELL/BML/EAL Diagnostic Testing
-
My school is looking for a diagnostic tool for English as an Additional
Language (EAL) learners.1. The test being Australian/American/British does not matter as we use Australian tests FIRST to monitor students who are not proficient before we run EAL specialist teacher administered tests
2. The test should inform what concepts need to be targeted in EAL interventions.
3. The test should help us differentiate students who are ELL vs. students with special learning needs that are not ELL (dysleia, ADHD, etc.)
What We’ve tried:
- Oxford English Learners
- Writing Samples
- Quill – Language/Grammar
