Preparing for ELPAC Success
Each year, California's English learners take the Summative ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessment for California) to demonstrate their language progress. Unfortunately, many students are caught off guard by the ELPAC's format and level of difficulty, resulting in scores that don't reflect their true language abilities.
Introducing the Language Tree Online Performance Indicator
It's the first ELPAC practice tool that perfectly mirrors the ELPAC experience—from format to rigor to scoring. Build student confidence with an authentic "dress rehearsal" before test day. Then, with the results, address the specific language skills that need attention using our standards-based curriculum.
Here’s how the Performance Indicator can help students approach the ELPAC better prepared and with more confidence:
Realistic Practice
Offers authentic ELPAC practice across all four assessment areas: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
Readiness Indicator
Provides a reliable measure of student’s readiness for the Summative ELPAC at that moment in time.
Actionable Insights
Equips educators with information about students’ language challenges, allowing for timely intervention before the ELPAC.
Language Tree Online Performance Indicator
Feature Highlights
Easy to Administer
Online testing with automatic and AI-assisted grading means most results are available immediately.
ELPAC-Aligned Scoring
Like the ELPAC, the Performance Indicator produces an Overall, Oral Composite, Writing Composite, and individual Language Domain scores.
Assessing All Four Language Domains
Practice assessments cover Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing areas. Students are exposed to all potential question scenarios so they know what to expect.
How to Achieve Better ELPAC Outcomes
The Performance Indicator serves as both a practice test and a reliable diagnostic assessment, revealing individual language challenges. Teachers can use the results to identify challenges early in the school year and address them using the standards-based Language Tree ELD curriculum.
The Language Tree team is also available to help schools and districts implement and interpret Performance Indicator results. We'll guide you in understanding the optimal learning path for students based on individual domain scores, and how to use the Performance Indicator as a teaching tool.
