The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California is used to measure how well students understand English when it is not their primary language. Information from the ELPAC helps your child’s teacher provide language and academic support.
The ELPAC is the state’s designated test of ELP. It is administered (1) as an initial assessment to newly enrolled students whose primary language is not English, as indicated on a home language survey (HLS); and (2) annually as a summative assessment to students who have been previously identified as EL students.
The Initial ELPAC has one purpose:
- To identify students who are English learner students or are initial fluent English proficient (IFEP)
The Summative ELPAC has two purposes:
- To determine the level of English language proficiency (ELP) of English learner students
- To assess the progress of English learner students in acquiring the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English
