| Title | NCELA Call for Papers: Assessment of ELLs in K-12 |
| Body | NCELA Call for Papers: Assessment of ELLs in K-12 The summer 2010 issue of AccELLerate!, NCELA's quarterly newsletter, will focus on the assessment of K-12 English Language Learners. We are soliciting contributions from ESL and content area teachers, state and local administrators, researchers, test developers, and others who work with this population. Topics may include (but are not limited to) ELL assessment needs; comparability of assessments; design of efficient, valid and reliable assessment instruments; alignment of ELP standards with content-area assessments and with ELP assessments; test accommodations for ELLs; the assessment of specific language skills needed to learn effectively in grade-level content classes taught in English; comprehensive, summative assessment of English language proficiency; and alternative ways to assess the growth in the students’ English skills and content area achievement. Full-length articles should be approximately 1,000 words, grounded in research, and be clearly and cogently written. Shorter articles can be of two types: Success Stories that are usually no more than 500 words share successful projects, programs or approaches, and Teachers’ Gems of Wisdom (around 250 words) share professional insights and best practices in teaching ELLS. Please provide the name, title, and affiliation of all authors, as well as a contact telephone number and an e-mail address. Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word format by electronic mail and directed to Natalia Romanova, editor of AccELLerate!, at romanova@gwu.edu. Articles may be edited for length and/or clarity; you will have a chance to review an article before it is published. The deadline for submissions is April 12, 2010. |
