The Complexity of Test Washback: An Empirical Study
ISBN: 9783631585061 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. It has long been noted that high-stakes language exams exert a powerful influence on teaching and learning, a phenomenon known as the washback effect (Alderson and Wall, 1993). However, due to the complex nature of the phenomenon, little research has been conducted in the field so far. This book, which is based on empirical research into the washback effect of First Certificate in English (FCE, Cambridge ESOL), discusses and elaborates on the complexity of the phenomenon and accounts for the intervening factors that mediate the process of test washback. The book concludes with...

Testing ESL Sociopragmatics: Development and Validation of a Web-Based Test Battery
ISBN: 9783631653791 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Testing of second language pragmatics has grown as a research area but still suffers from a tension between construct coverage and practicality. In this book, the authors describe the development and validation of a web-based test of second language pragmatics for learners of English. The test has a sociopragmatic orientation and strives for a broad coverage of the construct by assessing learners metapragmatic judgments as well as their ability to co-construct discourse. To ensure practicality, the test is delivered online and is scored partially automatically and partially by human raters....

Personality Differences and Oral Test Performance
ISBN: 9783631561713 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Three major studies are presented: the first is concerned with the individual candidate in the model; the second study investigates the role of the rater in the oral test process; the final study is concerned with the degree of interactivity required of pairs of candidates, each of whom also acts as an interlocutor in the performance of an oral test task. Results of the studies confirm that when an appropriate...

Introduction to Many-Facet Rasch Measurement: Analyzing and Evaluating Rater-Mediated Assessments. 2nd Revised and Updated Edition
ISBN: 9783631656150 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the early days of performance assessment, human ratings have been subject to various forms of error and bias. Expert raters often come up with different ratings for the very same performance and it seems that assessment outcomes largely depend upon which raters happen to assign the rating. This book provides an introduction to many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM), a psychometric approach that establishes a coherent framework for drawing reliable, valid, and fair inferences from rater-mediated assessments, thus answering the problem of fallible human ratings. Revised and updated...

Testing Lexicogrammar: An Investigation Into the Construct Tested in the «Language in Use» Section of the Austrian Matura in English
ISBN: 9783631865408 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explores the construct of language in use, specifically as operationalised through different item types in the Austrian Matura (school-leaving exam). Empirical research on some of these item types is scarce. The author reports on a mixed-methods study. The theoretical frameworks employed are Purpura's (2004) model of language ability and Weir's (2005) socio-cognitive framework. The findings suggest that the tasks under investigation assess grammatical form and meaning at the sub-sentential and sentential level. Different item types were also found to target different elements of...
