Accommodation for EL Students

Current or former EL students require a translation glossary and/or word-to-word dictionary.

• Bilingual dictionary use is strictly limited to those that provide word-to-word translations. Dictionaries that include definitions, synonyms, antonyms, phrases, and other information are prohibited.

• Word-to-word dictionaries and glossaries cannot be electronic or internet-based (Google Translate, for example). Contact the Assessment Office at assessment@ride.ri.gov if you are unsure if the word-to-word dictionary or glossary you are considering meets the criteria.

• Visit the accommodations web page for test-specific lists of approved word-to-word dictionaries and glossaries.
