The flipped classroom approach in an English for specific purposes (ESP) course: A quasi-experimental study on learners’ self-efficacy, study process, and learning performances
The flipped classroom approach has been extensively adopted in STEM disciplines, while little empirical evidence has been found in language teaching and learning, especially in the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. This quasi-experimental study aimed to explore how the flipped classroom approach affected non-English majors’ self-efficacy, study process, and learning performance in English learning. An 18-week semester-long flipped appr…
Examining the Effect of Digital Storytelling on English Speaking Proficiency, Willingness to Communicate, and Group Cohesion
This study focused on digital storytelling (DST) as a task in technology‐mediated task‐based language teaching and examined its effects on English speaking proficiency, willingness to communicate in English (WTCE), and group cohesion (GC). Two intact classes of Taiwanese EFL students, either as the DST group or as the comparison group, first responded to the WTCE scale, the GC scale, and a standardized English speaking test. Next, the DST group c…
Topical knowledge in L2 speaking assessment: Comparing independent and integrated speaking test tasks
Integrated speaking test tasks (integrated tasks) provide reading and/or listening input to serve as the basis for test-takers to formulate their oral responses. This study examined the influence of topical knowledge on integrated speaking test performance and compared independent speaking test performance and integrated speaking test performance in terms of how each was related to topical knowledge. The researchers derived four integrated tasks …

Video Blogging and English Presentation Performance: A Pilot Study
This study investigated the utility of video blogs in improving EFL students' performance in giving oral presentations and, further, examined the students' perceptions toward video blogging. Thirty-six English-major juniors participated in a semester-long video blog project for which they uploaded their 3-min. virtual presentation clips over 18 weeks. Their virtual presentation clips were rated by three raters using a scale for speaking performan…
Portfolio Assessment
Portfolio assessment represents a form of alternative assessment and, as its name reveals, assesses learning performance via evaluating portfolios. As defined by Genesee and Upshur, a portfolio refers to “a purposeful collection of students' work that demonstrates . . . their efforts, progress and achievement in given areas”(p. 99) and might include such artifacts as writing samples, reading logs, drawings, journals, personal reflections, and tea…
Comparing the Effects of Test Anxiety on Independent and Integrated Speaking Test Performance
Integrated speaking test tasks (integrated tasks) offer textual and/or aural input for test takers on which to base their subsequent oral responses. This path‐analytic study modeled the relationship between test anxiety and the performance of such tasks and explored whether test anxiety would differentially affect the performance of independent speaking test tasks (independent tasks) and the performance of integrated tasks. A total of 352 student…
