Abstract

ABSTRACT Schools are encountering a unique problem regarding how to best accommodate the increasing number of active bilingual learners/users of English (ABLE) students on state achievement tests. Previously, states used disability focused rather than language responsive accommodations for these students. The current study employed double-coding procedures to determine the number of tools, supports, and accommodations allowed for ABLE students across all U.S. states. Results revealed substantial heterogeneity of state practices, as some states demonstrated a decrease in the number of accommodations over time while some states offered more language responsive accommodations. Future research should continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the accommodations for ABLE populations.

目前美国全国范围内针对积极双语学习者/英语使用者(ABLE)学生的考试场所的实践

学校正在遇到一个独特的问题，即如何最好地适应越来越多的积极双语学习者/英语使用者(ABLE)学生参加国家成就测试。以前，各州为这些学生提供以残疾为重点的住宿，而不是针对语言的住宿。目前的研究采用双重编码程序来确定美国所有州的ABLE学生允许的工具，支持和住宿的数量。结果显示了各州实践的巨大异质性，随着时间的推移，一些州显示出住宿数量的减少，而一些州提供更多的语言响应性住宿。未来的研究应继续评估这些设施对残疾人群的适宜性。
