Description

California English Language Development Test: Does It Measure Up? By Freda Elena Rossi Doctor of Education in Educational Administration and Leadership University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Los Angeles, 2009 Professor Lawson Bush, V, Chair California English Language Development Test (CELDT) results are used to meet Title III accountability measures under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in California. The CELDT is also the English language proficiency test used by the state of California to determine the level of English proficiency of ELL students mandated by California Assembly Bill 748 and NCLB. The use of language assessment tests by teachers making instructional decisions for ELLs profoundly affects the lives of ELLs and is therefore worthy of investigation (Abedi, 2004). Research in the field of language assessment has demonstrated that the reliability and validity of the CELDT as an indicator of English proficiency is questionable (Abedi & Gandara, 2006; Gandara & Rumberger, in press). A review of the literature suggests that the language proficiency tests used to address federal mandates under NCLB differ considerably in the specific item content and in the types of tasks due to the different theoretical emphases prevalent during the time of their development (Zehler, Hopstock, Fleischman, & Greniuk, 1994). According to Abedi (2004), an efficient instructional program for ELL students should include at least three interactive components: (a) classification, (b) instruction, and (c) assessment. In the following study, qualitative methodology and case study design were used to describe and interpret how teachers use CELDT results in the classification, instruction, and assessment of ELL students at the study site. Four kinds of data (surveys, interviews, observations, and primary documents) were gathered and analyzed to address the main research question: How are CELDT results used in Gelson School? and two sub-questions: (a) How are CELDT results used to place ELLs in educational program? and (b) How are CELDT results used by teachers in planning their instruction of ELLs? Abedi's (2004) interactive school achievement model for ELL students (assessment, classification, and instruction) was used as a conceptual framework to analyze the data and report the findings. Findings indicated that CELDT results were used to place students into ELD classes and to determine which ELD Avenues lesson the teachers would teach the ELL students.
