Artifact Description

In the U.S., standardized tests have become high stakes for English language learners (ELLs). With the No Child Left Behind legislation, along with Title I and III, students have to take the standardized tests even though they have little exposure to the English language.

In addition, acquiring a second language takes time, dedication, and guidance from teachers and parents. It is important to note that ELL students’ needs must be met in order for them to participate in the standardized tests.
