John Stanford International School 3 About the ELLOPA Language Areas: Oral Fluency Grammar Vocabulary Listening Comprehension Proficiency Levels: Junior Novice Low (1) Junior Novice Mid (2) Junior Novice High (3) Junior Intermediate Low (4) Notes: All ratings above 4 were categorized as 4 for the purposes of the ELLOPA statistics. Teachers used the same Rating Profile to rate students based on classroom experience.

4. John Stanford International School 4 What do we want the data to tell us? How well are our students learning Spanish or Japanese? (Can we see growth across years?) Do students learn Japanese at the same rate as Spanish? How well did we do in assessing our students’ language proficiency? (How do ELLOPA ratings compare to Teacher Ratings?)

According to CAL, the rate of growth is statistically significant.
