In the wake of recent federal legislation entitled No Child Left
Behind, high-stakes standardized testing for accountability
purposes is being emphasized in educational systems across the U.S.
for all students - including English Language Learners (ELLs). Yet
language proficiency mediates test performance, so ELLs typically
receive scores far below those of other students. This book
explores how tests have become de facto language policy in schools,
shaping what is taught in school, how it is taught, and in what
language(s) it is taught. In New York City, while most schools
responded to testing by increasing the amount of English
instruction offered to ELLs, a few schools have preserved native
language instruction instead. Moreover, this research documents how
tests are a defining force in the daily lives of ELLs and the
educators who serve them.
