I am a teacher, and although i don't teach esol, I know that the first year is the "quiet year" with lots of observation and listening. THe fact that sylvan tested her at a similar level, doesn't mean a lot. Educationally, I am not sure they are the right ones to assess her receptive abilities. I know that the special education coordinator cringes when a parent suggest sending one of our little ones there. (As well as our school pshycologist) I think it has a lot to do with their Drill and Practice style of reteaching. They don't tend to look for the appropriate learning style for a child,,,, No flames please, I am not sure of all of their reasons....
Anyway, I would give it time. They say it takes about 7 years for children to truly learn the language....
