vocabulary – need to learn how to apply knowledge

CALP – Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency
BICS vs. CALP We need to use data to
determine if proficiency has been made
Often, teachers confuse BICS for CALP Just because a student can
communicate with peers, does not mean they have attainted English language proficiency
We use data from ACCESS testing to determine a student’s proficiency
