The letters in TELPAS stand for the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) developed TELPAS to meet state and federal requirements. Texas annually assesses the English language proficiency of students who have been identified as emergent bilingual (EB) students, also referred to as English learners (ELs) , in four language domains—listening, speaking, reading, and writing. TELPAS evaluates the progress that each EB student/EL makes in becoming proficient in the use of academic English.  \nWho takes TELPAS?  \nStudents in grades K-12 that have been identified as an EB are required to take TELPAS. This includes EB students whose parents have declined bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) program services. They will stop participating in TELPAS when their language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC) determines that they are proficient in the English language and have met reclassification criteria. This applies to all EB students even those who are not in a bilingual or ESL program. Once a student has met the state’s reclassification criteria, they will no longer be identified as an EB student/ELand will not have to participate in TELPAS. Information about the state’s reclassification criteria can be found on the Bilingual and ESL Programs webpage.  \nHow are the TELPAS language domains assessed?  \nIn grades K-1, TELPAS includes holistically-rated listening, speaking, reading, and writing assessments based  \non ongoing classroom observations and student interactions. For each language area assessed, teachers use specific language proficiency guidelines to determine whether your child is at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of learning English. The proficiency guidelines take into account that young children do not all learn to read and write at the same rate. Students who are not yet at the stage of reading or writing in any language are evaluated on how well they use English in prereading and prewriting activities.  \nIn grades 2-12, TELPAS includes online listening and speaking test and reading and writing test. The TELPAS listening and speaking test and the reading and writing test are designed especially for students who do not speak English as their first language. These tests are made up of test questions that span a full range of English listening, speaking, reading, and writing ability. While the beginning level reading selections and questions include very common English words and many pictures, the advanced and advanced high readingselections and questions require a near-native understanding of English. Once  \nstudents reach a proficiency rating of advanced high on the test, they have little difficulty understanding what they read in class and on state assessments of academic skills. The results in listening, speaking, reading, and writing indicate how well students understand and use English during academic instruction.  \nWhat do TELPAS results tell me about my child?  \nThe TELPAS Report Card uses four proficiency ratings—Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and Advanced High—to show the progress students make in learning English from year to year. For students to reach their full academic potential, it is important for them to make steady progress in learning English. Your child’s proficiency ratings in listening, speaking, reading, and writing will give you a good idea about the progress he or she is making. Students who do not make steady progress may require additional assistance at school. For more information about the TELPAS Report Card, visit the Texas  Assessment website.  \nThe following brief descriptions will help you understand the abilities generally demonstrated by students atthe four English proficiency levels.  \n• Beginning—Students who receive this rating are in the early stages of learning English.
