@eslmonica I did a small pilot test last year with it and was impressed with the variety of response types.

@diteach50 sorry I'm talking about ACCESS 2.0. #ellchat

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:19 PM EST

@diteach50 we're in thick of it online - not sure about speaking other domains OK -speaking + scrap paper render different results #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:19 PM EST

Q-3 - Has your preparation for standardized testing for ELLs changed this year? #ELLCHAT

gillsar Feb 29 @ 9:20 PM EST

A3 with switching to the ELPA21 prep has to change. Students need to learn the ropes first. Piloted last year with a few #ellchat

EmilyDESOL383 Feb 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3- we have had to ramp up keyboarding skills. R we testing computer skills or English proficiency??? #ellchat

MrMathAHS Feb 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

#ellchat A3 Yes this year we modeled think alouds for our students to help them better approach a problem.

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

@gardnerkb1 cant wait! still have to test 35 kinder but always love to see their growth #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A-3 Our NJTESOL-NJBE hotlist has had a lot of members complaining about the technical problems due to online testing. #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Feb 29 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3: Big change for @ELPA21Assess prep this year is practice test on computer - how to work buttons & answer diff Q types #ellchat

HSeslteacher Feb 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

@MrMathAHS At least think alouds have application beyond standardized testing. #ellchat

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

@judiehaynes A3 for 1st time had to do test practice online since it's not as fluid as on paper #ellchat

gillsar Feb 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

@HSeslteacher this test is very different than they are used to. Computers and questions. It's been an adjustment for all. #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

NJ had a lot of technical difficulties during the tests. #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Feb 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

@gillsar Are you done testing yet? We will start after Spring Break. #ellchat

gardnerkb1 Feb 29 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3 - I prepare my kinders for writing part of ACCESS test with sequencing cards, put cards in order and write about the story #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:25 PM EST

Is this a computer test for kinder? #ELLCHAT https://t.co/QEKVdM7Ruw

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:23 PM EST

@judiehaynes A3 for 1st time had to do test practice online since it's not as fluid as on paper #ellchat

MrMathAHS Feb 29 @ 9:25 PM EST

@HSeslteacher So true, it fits across the contents and I think it really helps all learners to start to be able to have ownership. #ellchat

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:25 PM EST

@HSeslteacher @MrMathAHS kids more engaged but Speaking is a different than person2person body lang non-verbal comm.gestures #ellchat

@HSeslteacher @gillsar IL tested in Jan. Testing window postponed 2x due to paper tests delayed #ellchat

gardnerkb1 Feb 29 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 - We also do lots of practice retelling in writing and orally using "first, next, then, last" #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:27 PM EST

@GJuradoMoran Hi and welcome. #ELLCHAT

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:27 PM EST

@gardnerkb1 we work on sequencing in how to's so practice w/lang is there do + compare contrast in OLD but not real test practice #ellchat

Paridad_US Feb 29 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 We've heard that Ts are preparing Ss to record themselves for speaking tests. "Think 1st, press button, talk, press stop" #ellchat

MrsYanong Feb 29 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3- some districts I'm working with are using these practice prompts- I haven't investigated too much yet #ellchat https://t.co/Tcc4zeWw24

HSeslteacher Feb 29 @ 9:29 PM EST

@VioletaRGamez @gillsar Definitely a year of growing pains for computer-based Engl language proficiency testing for both consortia! #ELLChat

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:29 PM EST

@Paridad_US kids need to know how to use the platform but that is not preparing - if they dont know they cant do it #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:30 PM EST

Q-4 – Is your school testing K-12 ELLs online? If yes, what kinds of problems does that create? #ELLCHAT

Aztecliving Feb 29 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 - No, we have no changes to test format this year. For the General ED tests, more time learning typing. #ELLCHAT

VioletaRGamez Feb 29 @ 9:30 PM EST

@eslmonica @diteach50 Some younger Ss hit stop trying 2 pause speaking despite being told it moves 2 nxt ? -not a pause button #ellchat

mr_stern Feb 29 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4 - Having the right software and hardware at the right time and in the right place. Also, bandwidth. #ellchat

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:31 PM EST

@HSeslteacher @VioletaRGamez had 1 kid who's great but froze today cried during speaking I stopped test we read story then resumed #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:31 PM EST

Please answer Q4 with A4 so we know what question you're answering. #ELLCHAT

GJuradoMoran Feb 29 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3 #ellchat. We spent more time making sure ELLs had practice time on computers. Really wish I could give each their own devices.

gillsar Feb 29 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4- yes the ELPA is online 3-12. Luckily we have a 1:1 so our kids are pretty computer savvy. New tests mean new learning. #ellchat

Aztecliving Feb 29 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4 – Online LAS Links for grades 3 - 12 There have been serious issues with the online speaking test #ELLCHAT

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:33 PM EST

@VioletaRGamez @diteach50 yes & some 1st graders just love to click next w/out reading the ? can't wait to see scores #ellchat

gillsar Feb 29 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4- learning tricks to help success as we go. #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:33 PM EST

A-4 I feel that some of the NJ testing problems are due to district bandwidth. The kids are getting thrown offline. #ELLCHAT

michelleshory Feb 29 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4 We finished ACCESS in mid-Feb. Tech issues at the start, but once we got going, it was okay. #ellchat

VioletaRGamez Feb 29 @ 9:33 PM EST

@HSeslteacher @gillsar I read somewhere how writing test on computer not as good as on paper. #ellchat

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:34 PM EST

@judiehaynes A4 we are doing quite well just a few problems today during speaking scheduling small groups is key #ellchat

DdelaneyDiana Feb 29 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3 I used @Wixie to prepare for ACCESS, Ss wrote and practiced recording their answers. Ss also evaluated their responses. #Ellchat

EmilyDESOL383 Feb 29 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4 K-12 @elpa21 testing online. location/space to test issue with SO much moved to online. limited computer labs. limited laptops #ELLCHAT

VioletaRGamez Feb 29 @ 9:34 PM EST

@eslmonica @HSeslteacher It was hard trouble shooting when computer froze while not disturbing others who were working #ellchat

VioletaRGamez Feb 29 @ 9:35 PM EST

@eslmonica @diteach50 I saw some Ss do that too. I just figure this year is learning curve #ellchat

michelleshory Feb 29 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 Many Ss lack basic keyboarding skills, but that's a skill we should be practicing. #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 I hate talking assessments for PreK-K DLLs! Sellers overhype their value - yng kids don’t care/don’t do their best, data is weak #ELLCHAT

DdelaneyDiana Feb 29 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4 we tested Ss in grades3-5. Next year planning on doing 2-5. No major problems and liked not evaluating the speaking. #Ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:37 PM EST

@KarenNemethEdM I suspect the same is true for K-1 also. To me this a great waste of time for younger Ss. #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:38 PM EST

@judiehaynes A4 Agree! The only ones who profit from assessments of PreK-1st are the people who sell them. Responses vary too much #ELLCHAT

Paridad_US Feb 29 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 Observational data can tell you things tests can't measure...especially for our young learners! #ellchat https://t.co/bwOExoJkW9

Q-5 How are you preparing for PARCC or other gen ed tests.Are standardized tests designed for the gen ed population fair for ELLs? #ELLCHAT

eslmonica Feb 29 @ 9:39 PM EST

@DdelaneyDiana A4 ACCESS 2.0 speaking not sure yet Ss can write response on scrap paper so how do we measure spontaneous speaking #ellchat

hvisona Feb 29 @ 9:40 PM EST

Heidy from Canada jumping in late. A4 we have online testing for all K-3 ELLs; works well but 1:1 with T so suspended ELL classes #ellchat

EmilyDESOL383 Feb 29 @ 9:41 PM EST

A5 - KS only exempts ELA and HGSS if Ss have been in US S less than 12mths. Over 12 - same expectation. Fair? I think not #ELLCHAT

MrsYanong Feb 29 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4-Yes- Anecdotal rec, frequent oral language samples, or even artifact/photo portfolio gives far more data #ellchat https://t.co/gQRJSHYoXY

@judiehaynes it's good to have a tool created for ELs to measure growth no problem w/ACCESS yes w/2.0 for younger ELs 4 domains #ellchat

EmilyDESOL383 Feb 29 @ 9:41 PM EST

A5 - All Ss must take Gen.Ed Math&Sci for 'participation' even if they are newcomer/recently arrived. #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 29 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4 that’s one reason I so object: results offer so little, yet interruptions for real learning are huge! #ELLCHAT https://t.co/d71Tdv273p

A5: Wish we could exempt ELLs from more than just reading part of gen ed test (IA Assessments now) during first 12 mos in U.S. #ELLChat

A5 Completely unfair. I'm new to working with ELLS but from what I've observed it's a very unpleasant experience. #ellchat
