Accommodations for English Language Learners (ELLs) taking the FCAT are based on a students individual needs and are similar to those provided to students with disabilities. State guidelines also allow teachers to provide ELLs help in understanding the directions in their heritage language. In addition, students are able to use dictionaries containing translations of words, without definitions, from the heritage language to English. The FCAT is available only in English. More information on accommodations for ELLs can be found on theOffice of Academic Achievement through Language Acquisition’swebsite.
