Directions for Administration

Introduction to the ELPAC Training Test Directions for Administration

This Speaking Directions for Administration (DFA) document contains information needed by test examiners to prepare for and administer the computer-based English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC).

Using the DFAThis DFA document should be used to administer the Speaking domain only. For Kindergarten through Grade 2, to administer the other domains, download the Listening and Reading DFA for each specific grade. The Writing test for Kindergarten through Grade 2 is administered in a paper-based format. Please refer to the Writing practice test materials available on https://www.elpac.org/resources/practicetests.

This DFA contains scripts for administration. The following symbols indicate instructions for test examiners*:

Guide to Administration Scripts in This DFA

How the Test Examiner Should Proceed

SAY The test examiner reads the material out loud to the student.

The test examiner is required to press the record button on the student’s screen before reading the SAY text.The test examiner is required to point to the text or pictures on the student’s screen.

Information for the test examiner

Advance to the next question

Stopping marker

*A test examiner does not need to be present to use the ELPAC Training Test; however, the term “test examiner” is used in this document to show what a test examiner will do to administer the test.

2 TRAINING TEST

Directions for Administration (cont.)

Administering a Training Test Session

The Speaking portion of the ELPAC is administered by the test examiner. Each student will be tested individually.

• If you are administering the training test using the same procedures as the operational tests, confirm that the student has been assigned the correct test settings (designated supports and accommodations) in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS).

• If you are administering the training test using a standard supported web browser without the use of the Test Administrator Interface or secure browser, apply the appropriate test settings (designated supports and accommodations) for the student in the Student Testing Interface for the practice and training tests directly.

• Gather the following test materials:

• The correct grade-level Speaking DFA

• Electronic device for the student to access the test

• Scratch paper for note-taking

• Pencils with erasers

• Headsets and splitter for the test examiner and student (if preferred)

Speaking Administration—All Speaking Task Types

Subject DirectionsPrompting guidelines See individual questions in this document for prompting guidelines.When to stop the test Refer to stopping markers in this document.Note-taking Note-taking is allowed for all Speaking task types. Students may take notes

on scratch paper or in the notepad section on the electronic device.

Preparing to Administer and Score the Speaking DomainBefore administering the test, the following is recommended:

• Prepare testing devices and materials for students and examiners.

• Check the volume on the student device prior to entering the Student Interface, and set the volume to MAX prior to logging in.

• Select a quiet area to administer the test. Eliminate distractions (e.g., extraneous noises, windows, clutter, etc.).

It is highly recommended that test examiners spend time preparing to administer and score the Speaking domain. The ELPAC includes task types with integrated skills, multiple rubrics, reading of complex academic text, and increased interactions between students and test examiners. The following are suggestions to help prepare for a successful test administration.

3TRAINING TEST

Directions for Administration (cont.)

• Practice and Modeling: A practice question is included as part of the audio capture so the test examiner may provide feedback to let the student know they are responding correctly. The practice question in the audio capture is “Describe what you are wearing today.” For example, if the student responded to the practice question saying, “A shirt and pants,” the test examiner lets the student know the response was correct. If the student does not successfully respond, the test examiner models a correct response for the student, saying, “You could have said, ‘I am wearing blue pants and a white shirt.’”

• Prompting Guidelines: The prompting guidelines vary for each task type. The words that the test examiner can say are located on the page that is read to the student. Test examiners should be familiar with each task type and the prompting guidelines.

• Oral Reading of Test Questions: Because of the length and complexity of some questions read by the test examiner, it is suggested to practice reading the text out loud several times prior to testing a student.

• Pointing: Some questions require the test examiner to point, as indicated by the icon, while reading the text out loud to the student. This should be rehearsed

prior to the test administration. Do not point to pictures or text unless directed to in the Speaking DFA. Test examiners may use the cursor, pencil or pen, or their finger to point.

• Anchors and Rubrics: The test examiner should take time to read through the anchors and scoring rubrics for each test question before testing. Scoring of the Speaking domain occurs as the test is being administered.

• Scoring Practice: Each task type includes training and calibration quizzes in the Moodle Training Site to assist test examiners in listening and scoring student responses. It is highly recommended that test examiners use this resource.

Prompting and Scoring Guidelines for the Speaking Domain • Prompting—Appropriate Wait Time: The amount of time it takes for students to

respond to a test question varies greatly. Test examiners should allow students enough time to compose their thoughts and prepare a response in English.

• Prompting—Student Answers Question Before Test Examiner Asks: Some students anticipate the next question and start to respond before the test examiner asks the question. The test examiner should not interrupt the student to ask the question. If the student response does not address the question, the test examiner should ask the question.

• Prompting—Repeating the Question: When a student asks or does not respond, you may repeat the question once.

• Prompting—Encouraging Students: Throughout the test, if a student is reluctant or asks for assistance that is not allowed, test examiners should give general encouragement by saying words such as, “It’s OK, do your best,” or “You are doing a good job,” etc.

4 TRAINING TEST

Directions for Administration (cont.)

• Scoring—Self-Correction: Since students respond to test questions fairly quickly, they sometimes change what they say in the middle of a word or sentence. Students who self-correct are not to be penalized; however, if a response is so halting or choppy that meaning is impeded, it may affect the score.

Audio Capture For the training test, audio capture is available for practice of the Speaking domain. If your computer does not have a microphone or the settings do not allow audio capture, you may administer the test without recording the student’s responses.

During the operational administration of the Speaking domain, the following guidelines apply to the audio capture tool. The test examiner should score what the student says, not what is recorded. If the following occur, the test examiner may continue to the next question and does not need to rerecord:

• Test examiner forgets to record a response.

• Test examiner records response on the wrong question.

• Test examiner sees a red triangle in the review box when ending the test session.

Use of headsets with a microphone for voice capture is not recommended to enable interaction between the student and test examiner. Headsets are recommended for grades 3–12 Summarize an Academic Presentation streaming audio.

If the student is wearing a headset for Summarize an Academic Presentation, the test examiner must also wear a headset to be able to hear the presentation and point appropriately to pictures and text on the student’s screen. Two headsets may require a splitter.

Once the test examiner has navigated to the next test question, the audio will not be able to be replayed. The test examiner does not need to replay the student response to confirm the audio capture.

When to Stop the TestThere are stopping markers in the Speaking domain as indicated by the . If there have been no responses or no correct responses to the stopping marker, the test examiner may stop administering the Speaking domain, by clicking [Pause].
