| Title | New Report: English Language Proficiency Assessment in the Nation: Current Status and Future Practice |
| Body | From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2007/12/new_report_engl.html English Language Proficiency Assessment in the Nation: Current Status and Future Practice Edited by Jamal Abedi Standardized testing that seeks to measure students’ English language proficiency has improved significantly nationwide since 2001, when Congress passed the No Child Left Behind Act. Such testing plays a critical role in the academic success of the nation’s estimated 5 million English language learners. The No Child Left Behind Act mandated reliable, valid annual assessments of students’ English proficiency. In response, the U.S. Department of Education awarded grants to four consortia of states in 2002, and directed each to create and field-test a state-of-the-art assessment. Abedi’s 196-page report is the first to summarize the progress of the four efforts and to report on the current testing landscape nationwide. The full report is available for download from http://education.ucdavis.edu/research/ELP_Report.pdf .
