Linguistic Challenges on the Biology MCAS

vendredi 1 juin 2018 à 08:30–09:15 EDT
LL2: Wayland
Session Abstract

Despite various definitions of academic language, there is agreement that English learners (ELs) need it to demonstrate content proficiency on high-stakes assessments. A textual analysis of the June 2012 Biology MCAS multiple choice questions yielded seven linguistic elements. This study explored EL performance across low-medium-high levels of item linguistic complexity.
