Bilingual Glossaries
These Bilingual Glossaries and Cognates are sorted by subject matter and created for educators, students, parents, and families in supporting instruction for our English language learners. These glossaries may be downloaded, printed and disseminated to educators, parents and ELLs/MLLs. Bilingual glossaries are an essential and expected test accommodation for ELLs/MLLs in the State of New York. The languages of these glossaries cover the top 10 languages at the state level, with new languages added based on changing language populations in the NY State student demographic data. Schools should provide testing accommodations to ELLs/MLLs, as needed, on all NYS ELA and content-area assessments (i.e., Mathematics, Science and Social Studies). Districts/schools must make all necessary arrangements to make these accommodations available for ELLs/MLLs who need them. Please click here for the New York State Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages Webpage on "Assessment and Testing Accommodations". If a word-to-word glossary is not available in a particular language, ACT maintains a list of word-to-word dictionaries by language. This list is provided solely as a reference to offer potentially useful information. The Statewide RBERN does not require, recommend, endorse, or provide guidance regarding any of the dictionaries listed.
