A class has been studying a novel. Several students in the class are English learners in the early stages of English acquisition. During instruction, they read parts of the novel in their primary language, made brief contributions to class discussions in English, and worked with a family volunteer at the close of each lesson to review major ideas. The class is now preparing to take a reading
comprehension test on the novel. The test includes short answer and essay questions. Which assessment modification is most appropriate for the English learners?
A) English learners take the same test, and it is scored the same way as for English only students, but the teacher adds 10 points to the English learners' scores to offset the linguistic disadvantage.
B) None. English learners deserve high expectations for demonstrating mastery.
C) English learners do not take the test; they get extra English vocabulary practice instead.
D) English learners are interviewed orally by the teacher.
