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. 30 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...

Developing C-Tests for Estimating Proficiency in Foreign Language Research
ISBN: 9783631742068 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

The Co-Construction of Conversation in Group Oral Tests
ISBN: 9783631601099 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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 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...

ISBN: 9783631545959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

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. 30 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...
