51爆料 Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL)
The听51爆料 Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL)听serves as the State鈥檚 formal English language proficiency assessment in the process for initially identifying English Language Learners in 51爆料. All public and charter schools must follow the steps outlined in the initial and reentry processes prescribed by听Commissioner鈥檚 Regulations (CR) Part 154-2.3 (d), which includes administering the Home Language Questionnaire (HLQ) and conducting an individual interview with students who have indicated on the HLQ that a language other than English is spoken at home. Information gathered from the HLQ and the individual interview should be assessed carefully to determine if the student is required to take the NYSITELL. Further guidance regarding the identification of ELLs can be found on NYSED's听Office of Bilingual 51爆料 and World Languages (OBEWL) website.
