Stansfield, Charles W.
Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, v8 n7 2002
Studied the effects of linguistic simplification, a test accommodation designed for students of limited English proficiency (LEP), using data from the Delaware state science assessment program for grades 4 and 6. Findings for 11,306 non-LEP and 109 LEP students show that tests and items can be simplified linguistically without compromising score comparability. (SLD)
