Abstract	With support from the California Community College Chancellor's Office, the MMAP Research Team, a team of The Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges (RP Group) conducted a literature review on various assessment measures used for English as a Second Language (ESL) programs to explore effective assessment methods including guided/directed self-placement, writing samples/essays, various multiple measures, and the validity of International Baccalaureate (IB) program transcripts. We examined research on assessment methods for English Language Learner students (ELLs) and investigated whether tests such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam, writing samples/essays, multiple measures questionnaires, and guided self-placement are effective for course placement. The purpose of this report is to inform the AB 705 ESL Subcommittee of the AB 705 Implementation Team the various assessment methods colleges use nationally for ELL students. The findings will also be useful to California Community Colleges that would like to further their understanding of the various methods used for the assessment of ELL students. This review of the literature begins with a summary of the main findings followed by a more detailed account of each article then concludes with a list of references. (ERIC).
