Reading Assessment and Instruction in English Language Learning

ELL assessments are intended to evaluate learning, achievement and development in oral and written language performance.

In ELL methodology, assessment serves three purposes: to identify and place students, to evaluate the program and to document and track student learning.

As with all assessment, ELL evaluations must be systematic to be valid and reliable. They must also be well-planned and consistent with local district, and state curriculum goals.
