“…The words included in the customized dictionary typically are not content-related (i.e., non-mathematical terms are used when taking a mathematics test), reducing the risk of adversely influencing construct-related validity. Several studies have found positive results with the use of customized and bilingual dictionaries, with effectiveness and little influence on validity being seen at various grade levels (e.g., Abedi et al, 2005;Abedi, Lord, Kim, & Miyoshi, 2001;Albus, Thurlow, Liu, & Bielinski, 2005). Abedi and Ewers (2013) expressly stated that unedited dictionaries should be avoided, as they have a high potential to affect the construct being measured and they are an inherently difficult accommodation to use (especially for younger students).…”
