The New York State English as Second Language Achievement Test
The New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test
(NYSESLAT) is designed to annually assess the English proficiency of all
English language learners enrolled in Grades K–12 in New York State
schools. This assessment gives the State and schools important information
about the English language development of English language learners
(ELLs), and is part of the State's compliance with federal laws that
mandate the annual assessing and tracking of English proficiency of
English language learners.
The 2013 NYSESLAT Parent Brochures in the following languages were made
