Abstract

Educational programs have increasingly moved toward responsibility for learning, with emphasis on students acquiring competencies and retaining skills or information from the instructional process. Educators increasingly question the validity of standardized tests for any student, especially for students who do not understand the language used on the tests. All of this has taken place in an atmosphere of reform where we are using the learnings and test results in specific attempts to assess and then improve education.
