English Language
Proficiency Assessment
(ELPA) The ELPA is
administered to all English
Language Learners (ELL) who
are enrolled in grades K
through 12 and are eligible
for limited English
proficiency (LEP) services.
The term English Language
Learner, or ELL, has been
adopted by the State of
Michigan to refer to
students who are limited
English proficient (LEP).
The administration of the
ELPA is one of the first
steps in improving the way
in which the English
language proficiency of all
ELL students is assessed.
The second step is providing
the ELPA Initial Screening
as a tool in determining
eligibility for LEP services
at the time of enrollment.
The ELPA Initial Screening
version is shorter in length
and designed to be scored at
the time of administration.
