Bilingual Education Supplemental
Practice Test questions and answers.
The home language survey is intended to be used for which of the following
purposes? - n
Ans✔

Second Language program.
Qs
Educators who are responsible for selecting the tests that will be used for high-
stakes assessment must examine how closely a test reflects the curriculum and
standards being used in their state or district. As Menken (2000) points out, "in
order for assessments to be effective and useful for educators in instructional
practice, they must be deeply entwined with the classroom teaching and learning
driven by the standards" (p. 4). If tests are aligned with standards and curricula,
students will have an increased chance of demonstrating what they know and are
able to do. Teachers of English-language learners (ELLs) need to be involved in the
decision-making process regarding which tests will be used.
The conclusions made in the excerpt concerning ELLs and high-stakes tests suggest
which of the following actions as most important for bilingual teachers to take? - n
Ans✔
Becoming part of the committee that reviews and selects standardized tests for the
school
