What does CELLA assess?

  1. Basic social skills in English

  2. Progress in listening, speaking, reading, and writing

  3. Mathematical understanding in English

  4. General knowledge of English history

The correct answer is: Progress in listening, speaking, reading, and writing

The Comprehensive English Language Learning Assessment (CELLA) is specifically designed to evaluate the progress of English language learners in multiple areas of language proficiency. This assessment measures students' abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English, which are essential skills for academic success in an English-speaking environment. By focusing on these language domains, CELLA provides educators with valuable information regarding students' language development, helping to guide instruction and support for English learners effectively. This focus on language skills differentiates CELLA from assessments that might gauge other areas, such as social skills, mathematical understanding, or knowledge of historical content. While those areas are important for overall education, they are not the primary focus of the CELLA assessment.
