Assessment Supports and Accessibility for English Language Learners
Abstract In this research study, the author reviews current elementary academic assessment research for English Language Leaners, and affirms the importance of linguistically accessible, valid, and reliable accommodations. Four main articles were used in the research of this study: Hauck, Wolf, and Mislevy (2016), Kopriva, Thurlow, Perie, Lazarus, and Clark (2016), Shim and Shur (2018), and Lin and Zhang (2013). This research study is based on the following hypotheses. First, that allowing student voice and perspective in the classroom is a prerequisite for student-centered learning. Second, ELLs are most commonly behind their native-English peers in academic achievement and assessment scores, thus, their perspective is crucial for their academic development. Through the framework of theories in George Yule’s (2006) The Study of Language, this research study found that although there are current initiatives in place that attempt to provide valid assessments for English Language Learners (ELL), there are modifications that are not utilized that may facilitate greater achievement. This includes focusing on the learner, engaging in a communicative approach, and understanding cultural competency.

Chantelle GallagherPublished 5 years ago in Education5 Student Tips for Passing the CPA Exam
Schedule There are several keys to passing the CPA exam parts. The first one is to make a schedule for the times that you are going to study for the CPA exam. Once you know when the test is, then you need to plan some time to study every day. Then if you have a plan, it will need to be as detailed as possible. This means that you will need to pick one day to review all of the materials that you have recently studied. It is a good idea to make a schedule where you will be done with your studying two weeks before the date of the exam so that you can review all of the materials that you learned. You should take this time to focus on the areas where you are the weakest.
