What TELPAS Results Tell Us
TELPAS ratings of beginning and intermediate indicate significantly limited ability to use English as medium for learning academic material
ELLs in U.S. schools 3 years or more whose academic instruction is in English and who are still at these levels need carefully planned, highly intensive instructional interventions to accelerate English acquisition

TELPAS Proficiency Levels in a Nutshell
Beginning: Little or no ability to function in English in social and academic settings
Intermediate: Limited ability to function in English in social and academic settings; can understand and use simple language structures and high-frequency English in routine contexts
Advanced: Can handle grade-appropriate English, although ongoing linguistic support is needed to engage in grade-level academic tasks
Advanced high: Can handle grade-appropriate English with minimal linguistic support; limited English does not stand in the way of grade-appropriate academic instruction 4

Linguistic Accommodations in Instruction – ELPS Requirements
19 TAC Chapter 74.4 (b)(2:School districts must provide instruction in foundation and enrichment TEKS in linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) way commensurate with student's English language proficiency level to ensure that student learns TEKS
19 TAC Chapter 74.4 (c) says above each set of cross-curricular student expectations:For ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations, all TEKS instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated commensurate with student’s level of English language proficiency
Applies to all teachers, all TEKS…

Linguistic accommodations are – the heart and crux of the ELPS an integral part of language learning and
content instruction
not primarily about TAKS testing
