Die Validitaet Der Skalen Des Gemeinsamen Europaeischen Referenzrahmens Fuer Sprachen: Eine Empirische Untersuchung Der Fluessigkeits- Und Wortschatzs
ISBN: 9783631650158 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2014 / 629 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Die Skalen des Gemeinsamen europaischen Referenzrahmens fur Sprachen (GeRS) kommen zunehmend etwa bei der Formulierung von Bildungsstandards oder der Erstellung von Sprachtests zum Einsatz. Dieser Entwicklung steht jedoch ein eklatanter Mangel an Studien zur Moglichkeit der validen Verwendung dieser Skalen gegenuber. Diese Arbeit untersucht die theoretische und empirische Validitat der GeRS-Skalen fur Wortschatz und Flussigkeit. Sie zeigt, dass die Skalen auf keiner koharenten theoretischen Grundlage basieren. Zudem erfassen sie die untersuchte empirische italienische und deutsche gesprochene...

ISBN: 9783631545959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Pragmatic competence is an integral and indispensable component of overall language competence. Omitting the pragmatic dimension from language assessment is, therefore, quite unfortunate. This book describes the development and validation of three test methods designed to test the interlanguage pragmatic knowledge of EFL learners. Altogether 413 subjects participated in the development of the tests. Results showed that all three methods investigated had measured learners interlanguage pragmatic knowledge. Quantitative analyses showed that the tests tapped the intended construct and the test...

Interaction in Paired Oral Proficiency Assessment in Spanish: Rater and Candidate Input Into Evidence Based Scale Development and Construct Definition
ISBN: 9783631613344 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Defining the construct of interaction for paired assessment purposes has been difficult, despite the evolution of our view of language to include the social perspective of co-construction, and the fact that such discourse is increasingly taught and assessed. In this volume three sequenced studies define interaction in paired oral assessment through the verbal protocols of learners of Spanish and their assessors. Assessors then scale performances from videoed test performance data resulting in the development of an evidence based rating process which includes non-verbal interpersonal...

Language Proficiency Testing for Chinese as a Foreign Language: An Argument-Based Approach for Validating the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK)
ISBN: 9783631648919 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How did the (old) Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) assess the Chinese proficiency of non-native speakers of Chinese? What inferences can be derived from HSK test taker scores, especially from Western test takers? How difficult is it to learn Chinese according to the HSK? Thirty years of research have been synthesized into an argument-based approach for validating the most widespread test for Chinese as a foreign language. In addition, the author has analyzed the scores of a sample of over 250 German test takers in order to investigate how many hours German natives needed on average to study for...

Validierung Von Sprachpruefungen: Die Zuordnung Des Testdaf Zum Gemeinsamen Europaeischen Referenzrahmen Fuer Sprachen
ISBN: 9783631610701 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2011 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der 2001 veroffentlichte Gemeinsame europaische Referenzrahmen fur Sprachen (GER) hat zahlreiche weitreichende Auswirkungen. So versuchen Prufungsanbieter, einen Bezug zwischen ihren Prufungen und den Niveaustufen des GER herzustellen, um auf diese Weise z. B. eine Prufung als -B2-Prufung- anbieten zu konnen. Dies wurde vom Europarat zum Anlass genommen, das Handbuch Relating language examinations to the Common European Framework of Reference herauszugeben, das ein methodisches Verfahren zur empirisch gestutzten Niveaustufen-Zuordnung enthalt.

Accent and Listening Assessment: A Validation Study of the Use of Speakers with L2 Accents on an Academic English Listening Test
ISBN: 9783631609392 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Given the linguistically diverse nature of academic institutions in English-speaking contexts, a strong rationale exists for the incorporation of L2 accents of English in academic listening assessment on the grounds of authenticity and construct representation. However large-scale tests have tended to feature only native-speaker varieties in listening test input owing to concerns about the intelligibility of L2 accents, construct validity and acceptability. This book presents a mixed-methods study designed to address these concerns. Versions of the University Test of English as a Second...

Validating Language Proficiency Assessments in Second Language Acquisition Research: Applying an Argument-Based Approach
ISBN: 9783631667217 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book introduces the reader to an argument-based approach to validity as a way to improve test validation in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research. Motivated by the need for practical suggestions for raising proficiency assessment standards in SLA research, it exemplifies the approach by validating two distinct score interpretations for a new Russian Elicited Imitation Test (EIT). Two empirical investigations with 164 Russian learners in the USA and Germany were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the score interpretations associated with two distinct test uses. The EIT proved to...

The Co-Construction of Conversation in Group Oral Tests
ISBN: 9783631601099 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. International language tests increasingly use group oral formats in both high- and low-stakes contexts. But how do test-takers with different characteristics interact in such formats? This book explores how test-takers with different extraversion and proficiency levels co-construct spoken interaction in groups. The impact of the two test-taker characteristics was examined across three task types and with two group sizes. Examination of group performances using both statistical and Conversation Analysis tools offered insights into how group conversation is co-constructed. By enhancing our...

Interaction in a Paired Speaking Test: The Rater's Perspective
ISBN: 9783631617236 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Paired speaking tests are increasingly used in both low- and high-stakes second language assessment contexts. Until recently, very little was known about the way in which raters interpret and apply descriptors relating to interactional competence to a performance that is co-constructed. This book presents a study which explores the interactional features of a paired speaking test that were salient to raters and the extent to which raters viewed the performances as separable. The study shows that raters use their own frames of reference to interpret descriptors and that they viewed certain...

Developing C-Tests for Estimating Proficiency in Foreign Language Research
ISBN: 9783631742068 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explores the development of C-tests for providing efficient measures of foreign language proficiency in eight different languages: Arabic, Bangla, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Researchers report on how C-test principles were applied in creating the new language tests, with careful attention to language-specific challenges and solutions. The final, five-text C-tests in all languages demonstrated impressive psychometric qualities as well as strong relationships with criterion variables such as learner self-assessments and instructional levels. These test...

Assessing Intercultural Language Learning: The Dependence of Receptive Sociopragmatic Competence and Discourse Competence on Learning Opportunities an
ISBN: 9783631650080 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 317 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Although Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) has become a key objective in foreign language (FL) education, curricula offer little in how language teachers can promote ICC through language instruction. This book responds to the challenge of how intercultural language learning can be accounted for more profoundly in FL teaching. By means of innovative intercultural assessments, the author investigates the development of three language competences central to ICC in relation to learning opportunities as experienced by German learners of English. Audiovisual media were found to be a...
