Editor's Notes
The criteria used to determine the proficiency level definitions are couched in terms of the language used in schools to impart content area information. Issues of linguistic complexity and semantic & pragmatic knowledge are brought to bear in formulating the definitions. At the two lower proficiency levels, it is assumed that ELLs would need extra linguistic support via graphic and visual aids in order to carry out language functions. This requirement also motivates the use of graphics for test items at these levels.
