为什么测试问题和说明使用英语?

  • 首先,必须绝对确保应试者回答正确或错误的原因是基于应试者对真实文本的实际理解,而不是问题中使用的语言。简单地说,英语问题有助于区分所测的目标语言技能。
  • 其次,为了针对文章的水平提出适当的问题,问题的语言水平可能比文章本身难得多。换句话说,问题语言的难度可能会妨碍应试者正确回答他们实际理解的真实文本。

1.登录、考生简介和说明页面

  • 如果允许翻译协助,这些区域(登录、考生档案和说明页面)是唯一可以翻译的区域,因为它们不包含任何需要评估的内容。我们的目标是让应试者登录测试,完成 "应试者简介",并理解有关阅读、写作、听力和口语部分的说明。

2.阅读部分(见下图)

  • 允许对 "情况 "和 "问题 "元素提供翻译帮助(见下图)。

Avant does not have embedded speech-to-text within their secure testing system for the STAMP writing section. If a student cannot type into the system, and requires speech-to-text, the student will need to use two devices to complete the writing portion of the STAMP test. If a student needs to use paper for handwriting or a scribe, the LEA will need to supply the student with the paper.  Students using speech-to-text accommodation need to test individually so they do not disturb other students. 

The LEA will send the following to Jessica Wilhelm (Jessica.wilhelm@schools.utah.gov), Special education Specialist at Utah State Board of Education:

  • Student SSID
  • Language of the test

Once the information is received, the Avant team will roster the student(s) and create test codes. 

If the test code needs to be sent to an alternate testing location than the current one assigned to the SSID, please include that information. 

  1. Avant rosters the student to a different test code for the writing section.
  2. Avant shares the test code and password with the teacher through the Dropbox folder.
  3. Proctor follows directions in the STAMP Handwritten Writing Section Guide to print out students’ writing prompts and save the PDF. There is information on these printouts that Avant needs to upload the student PDF responses. Please note this link does refer to “Handwritten” but a saved PDF of the student’s writing section using speech-to-text or a scribe can also be submitted.

One 3-page PDF with the printed writing prompts from the Avant platform, and one 3-page PDF with the student writing answers should be submitted to Avant

  1. Proctor helps students use speech-to-text on a second device or student dictates responses to a scribe to respond to the writing prompt outside of the test and saves the responses as another PDF.
  2. Proctor submits both PDFs to Avant using Dropbox Link.

Please note: Responses to all prompts (2 for Se tests, 3 for S tests) need to be submitted with their corresponding QR codes. Only one document per PDF can be submitted.
