Abstract

Language inhibits Orang Asif pupils' true mathematical ability. This study adopts a novel approach driven by testing and examines the validity of using trilingual test as a test accommodation for OA pupils. Two tests (BM-only and trilingual test) that had 30 computation and 20 word problem Year 5 items were translated to the English language and audio recorded in the OA native language. They were spirally administered among 207 pupils from nine schools in Perak and Kelantan . The trilingual test has comparable equivalence to BM-only test, easier and higher discriminating power. Their mathematics achievement for both computation and word problem items was higher in the trilingual test than BM-only test and in both tests, they performed better in the computation items. No pupils referred to the items written in English
