The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of English proficiency on students' mathematics performance by detecting differential item functioning (DIF) between English Language Learner (ELL) students and Non-ELL students in a state mathematics assessment. A total of 1088 seventh-grade students' data was investigated in the study; 921 were Non-ELL students and 167 were Non-ELL students. White, Asian and Hispanic students were included in the study. Item Responses Theory (IRT)-based area and Mantel-Haenszel methods were used to detect DIF in the study. Comparison between these two methods was conducted. The results showed that 18 items were identified as DIF in the IRT-based area method, and five items were identified as DIF in the Mantel-Haenszel method. Among these identified DIF items, three items were in common with both methods. A follow-up study with large sample sizes will be conducted in order to verify the inconsistent results found in this study.
