-A fourth-grade class includes a number of students who are ELLS. The
teacher is designing formative assessment to measure students
understanding of a specific science concept. When developing this
assessment, the teacher can use Pennsylvania'a Language Proficiency
Standards for English Language Learners PreK-12 (ELPS) most effectively to:
, - -help ensure that the language function of the assessment is appropriate
for the students level of English Language Proficiency
-A student who is an English Language Learner who qualifies for migrant

the following types of feedback from the teacher would provide meaningful
English Language input to the students who are ELLS during the discussion? -
-responding to the intent and content of the students utterances
-A kindergarten teacher works with two students who are ELLS who have no
prior exposure to English. She exposes them to natural English in meaningful
contexts but does not push them to contribute to discussion. She allows
them to respond to questions nonverbally or with one word answers. The
teacher's actions best demonstrate her awareness that second-language
learners often: - -go through a silent period during which they produce very
little oral language
-Which of the following characteristics would indicate atypical cognitive
development in a four-year-old child? - -having difficulty matching a toy car
to a picture of a car
