Question 2

Imagine that, as a teacher, you are administering a high-stakes achievement test to your students. You have three English language learners in your class, none of whom knew English before immigrating to this country: Franois (who immigrated 9 months ago and is now getting individual tutoring in English); Mei-Li (who immigrated 3 years ago and spent the first 2 years in a bilingual education program); and Maria (who immigrated 7 years ago and is now doing well in her English-only classes). Given what you've learned about the amount of time it typically takes for children to master English as a second language, which of these students has/have probably acquired sufficient knowledge of English to earn valid scores on the high-stakes test?
 
  a. None of them
  b. Only Maria
  c. Both Mei-Li and Maria
  d. All three of them
