WIDA ACCESS for ELLs
ACCESS for ELLs 2.0: The Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State (ACCESS) test is the state-designated assessment tool for English learners (EL students). WIDA ACCESS measures oral and written language skills of K-12 EL students. The goal of the test is to monitor students’ progress in learning academic English. As communication takes many forms, the test addresses both academic content knowledge and social aspects of language by assessing students’ English language proficiency in five academic domains: social and instructional language, English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. There are four components of the test: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Additional information on the ACCESS can be found at: ACCESS for ELLs | WIDA.
