Directions for Administration

Introduction to the ELPAC Practice 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) to students with visual impairments.

The purpose of the ELPAC visual impairment and braille practice tests is to familiarize students and test examiners with the testing interface, item types, and accessibility resources. There is an ELPAC visual impairment and braille practice test available for each grade level/span.

Please note that the visual impairment and braille practice tests do not produce scores. These visual impairment and braille practice tests are available all year and may be used at any time in preparation for the operational ELPAC visual impairment and braille tests.

Visual impairment and braille practice tests can be administered in one of two ways: • Using the same procedures as the operational tests, with the Test Administrator

Interface, secure browser, and individual student logon information; or

• Using a standard supported web browser to access the practice tests directly, without use of the Test Administrator Interface or secure browser.

For more information on all aspects of the ELPAC, including test security, item types, and guidelines, refer to the ELPAC Test Administration Manual on the Manuals and Instructions web page at https://www.elpac.org/test-administration/instructions/.

Using the DFAThis DFA document should be used to administer the Speaking domain only. To administer the other domains, download the Listening, Reading and Writing visual impairment and braille DFA for each specific grade.

For visual impairment and braille accommodations, alternate text descriptions are embedded for all graphics. This DFA includes picture descriptions for each image.

This DFA contains scripts for administration. The symbols on the following page indicate instructions for test examiners:

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

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, if appropriate, may point to the text or pictures on the student’s screen if it will benefit the student.

Information for the test examiner

Administering a Practice 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 visual impairment and braille practice 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 visual impairment and braille practice 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(s) for the student (and, if applicable, test examiner) to access the test

◦◦ Scratch paper and pencil for note-taking, or brailler slate and stylus, or other approved note-taking device

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

◦◦ For low vision test takers, screen magnification software will be necessary. Please refer to the ELPAC Test Administration Manual for necessary settings when launching with assistive technology.

NOTE: For Speaking, the test content is delivered by the test examiner. JAWS should not be used to read the content aloud and students should not navigate the test using their refreshable braille display.

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 by using a preapproved device (e.g., brailler slate and stylus).

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.

• 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 your favorite food.” For example, if the student responded to the practice question saying, “A hamburger,” 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, ‘My favorite food is a hamburger and fries.’”

• 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.

NOTE: The alternate text is being provided so that test examiners can use the provided description for the graphics rather than creating their own graphic descriptions.

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

4 VISUAL IMPAIRMENT AND BRAILLE PRACTICE TEST

Directions for Administration (cont.)

NOTE: For braille and low vision administration, use the provided verbal cue in addition to the pointing to ensure that students with visual impairments hear the description of the visual cue.

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 to 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’s 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.

• 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.

Directions for Administration (cont.)

Audio Capture For the practice 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.

NOTE: For a low vision test administration, the enlargement of the test content on the student’s screen MUST take precedence over the voice capture.

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’s response to confirm the audio capture.

Audio Recording for Summarize an Academic PresentationAt grades 3-12, the test examiner will play an audio recording for the Summarize and Academic Presentation tasks. While playing or pausing the audio recording, it is important not to select any of the navigation features (i.e. the “Next” button or one of the tabs within the item sets). Doing so will move to the next item and will prohibit the ability to listen to the recorded audio again. If this happens during the operational test, you will have to file an appeal through the Security and Test Administration Incident Reporting System in order to re-open the test and play the audio again.

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].
