So the ESL teacher 1) alteredvocabulary used in the instruction in accordance with his leveland 2) read the instruction outloud for him.I think almost all classroom activities can function as authentic assessments aslong as the teacher has solid criteria or rubrics. This includes role-playing,discussion, portfolios, retelling stories, and so forth.Being culturallyunbiasedProviding sufficient details so that itcan be understood withoutunderstanding of culturePersonal example: In a test I took, there was a narrative aboutsomebody's wedding that was held in a church. One of the choices said"She had a typical wedding" and I didn't choose it because churchwedding didn't sound typical to me. From this experience, I can tell testadministrators should be careful with languages like "typical, normal,traditional" and so forth.Double click this nodeto edit the textClick and drag this buttonto create a new node
