The Design of Mathematics Testing Accommodations for Second Language Learners: Semiotic Exchangeability of Translation and Illustration Pop-Up Glossaries in Computer-Administered Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Solano-Flores, Guillermo; Shyyan, Vitaliy; Chía, Magda; Kachchaf, Rachel – International Multilingual Research Journal, 2023
We examined semiotic exchangeability in pop-up glossary translations and illustrations used as supports for second language learners (SLLs) in computer-administered mathematics tests. In a sample of 516 mathematics items, Grades 3-8 and 11, from a large-scale assessment program in the US, test developers identified terms that could be translated…

This small scale study takes place in a…

Rogers, W. Todd; Lin, Jie; Rinaldi, Christia M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2011
The evidence gathered in the present study supports the use of the simultaneous development of test items for different languages. The simultaneous approach used in the present study involved writing an item in one language (e.g., French) and, before moving to the development of a second item, translating the item into the second language (e.g.,…

Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R. – Journal of Technology, Learning, and Assessment, 2005
Universal design for assessment (UDA) is intended to increase participation of students with disabilities and English-language learners in general education assessments by addressing student needs through customized testing platforms. Computer-based testing provides an optimal format for creating individually-tailored tests. However, although a…
