Abedi, Jamal; Zhang, Yu; Rowe, Susan E.; Lee, Hansol – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
Research indicates that the performance-gap between English Language Learners (ELLs) and their non-ELL peers is partly due to ELLs' difficulty in understanding assessment language. Accommodations have been shown to narrow this performance-gap, but many accommodations studies have not used a randomized design and are based on relatively small…
