This study aimed to investigate how 1–2 English language learners (ELLs) in grades 1-2 differ in their performance on a writing test in two test modes: paper and online. Overall, there was a significant effect of test mode on ELLs’ test performance. More specifically, ELLs displayed noticeably better performance when being tested on paper.
