4.2 Proficiency Level Descriptors In addition to the Proficiency Levels and their definitions, Proficiency Level Descriptors (PLD) are provided for more specific understanding of students’ English ability at each proficiency level and grade span. The PLD are organized by the core language domains: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. The PLD are detailed explanations of what skills a student can be expected to demonstrate at each proficiency level, and are meant to give teachers a helpful profile of a student’s performance with an eye toward the next steps along the language development continuum. The same information can also be given to parents, guardians, or other stakeholders so they have a clear understanding of what students have learned and what English skills are yet expected to be developed. It is important to note that the proficiency level descriptors represent a progression of skills and abilities. Skills and abilities specified in lower-performance levels are likely demonstrated by students in the higher performance levels and may not be noted in the higher-level descriptors for a grade or grade range.
