Is the test constructor a facet
Most modern language testers believe that the writing of a successful instrument begins with specifications, and that instruments constructed devoid of specifications are likely to go astray. The purpose of this study was to explore the relative impact of the test-developer on the performance of test-takers using multiple-choice reading comprehension tests that had no specifications. Traditional reading comprehension tests often consist of short …
Can the C-test be improved with classical item analysis
Native speaker performance validity
Is C-testing superior to cloze
Several recent studies have suggested C-testing to be a highly valid and reliable measure of general language proficiency avoiding the problems with cloze testing. This study investigates the feasibility of the procedure with native and non-native speakers of English. Results of 20 C-tests constructed with different ratio and/or deletion start are analysed and discussed. The findings of the study refute the claims on C-testing. The implications o…
Does practice with dictation improve language skills
Cohesiveness as a basis for evaluating compositions
Non-native raters determining the oral proficiency of EFL learners
The short-context technique
Traditional reading tests have been subject to mounting criticism of various kinds. This article discusses some of these criticisms and the ways in which an alternative approach - namely, the short-context technique - avoids these defects. It then reports on an attempt to construct a short-context test and the examination of its validity. The results show sufficient evidence substantiating the short-context test as an authentic measure of reading…
