NYSITELL New York State Identification Test for English Language Learners - English as a New Language (ENL)

New York State Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL)

The purpose of the NYSITELL is to assess the English language level of new students whose home or primary language is other than English. Your child’s score on the NYSITELL (Entering, Emerging, Transitioning, Expanding, or Commanding) will determine if he or she is entitled to receive ELL services and will determine the level of English language support. The results will also help teachers plan the best program for your child based on his or her strengths and needs in listening,speaking, reading, and writing in English.

The NYSITELL is administered to possible ELLs/MLLs only once following registration in a New York State school system.

El objetivo del examen NYSITELL es evaluar el nivel de inglés de un estudiante matriculado por primera vez en una escuela pública del estado de Nueva York si el idioma preferido del estudiante no es el inglés. El resultado de su hijo/a en el examen NYSITELL (principiante, emergente, en transición, en expansión, competente) nos ayuda a preparar un programa de estudio para asegurar el éxito académico y social de su hijo/a.
