BICS vs. CALP We need to use data to
determine if proficiency has been made
Often, teachers confuse BICS for CALP Just because a student can
communicate with peers, does not mean they have attainted English language proficiency
We use data from ACCESS testing to determine a student’s proficiency
![Page 12: ELL-MESOL Explaining the difference between BICS and CALP](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061505/56649daa5503460f94a98985/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
