English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) State and federal laws require that all students, excluding those enrolled in Transitional Kindergarten programs as noted in AB 2268, whose primary language is other than English be assessed for English language proficiency (ELP). The legal basis for requiring ELP testing is that all students have the right to an equal and appropriate education and any English language limitations left unidentified and/or unaddressed could preclude a student from accessing that right. The English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) is the state’s designated test for ELP. The ELPAC assesses public school students in K-12 in four domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. The ELPAC is a computer-based assessment. It is administered to all students in kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12), ages three through twenty-one: (1) as an initial assessment to newly enrolled students whose primary language is not English, as indicated on a home language survey; and (2) annually as a summative assessment to students who have been previously identified as ELs. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 ELD Standards.
