Building the foundations for automatic assessment of verbal and nonverbal aspects of spoken interaction in Finnish as a second language
In the paper we describe the theoretical and methodological basis of a multidisciplinary project, Aasis, focusing on automatic assessment of spoken interaction in L2 Finnish. The aim is to describe the project corpora that have been built for developing ASA (Automatic Speaking Assessment), not to study detailed empirical research questions as such even though we present some preliminary results from the data. The goals of the project are novel in…
Enhancing second language speaking assessment
Automated speaking assessment (ASA) of second language proficiency benefits both learners and educators. However, developing these systems for less commonly taught languages like Finnish and Finland Swedish is hindered by the need for large datasets with equal representation of all proficiency levels. Traditional machine learning algorithms used in ASA are data-driven and consequently struggle to generalize to underrepresented proficiency levels.…
Beyond monologues – Examining L2 Finnish learners’ interpersonal behavior during dialogue speaking tasks using the computer-joystick method
Although second language (L2) speaking assessment usually seeks to cover interactional aspects, in practice, it is often limited to assessing L2 learners' individual audio-recorded performance or focusing merely on linguistic criteria. This study experiments with a new method for assessing interactional competence. The computer-joystick method allows observing both verbal and nonverbal features while rating an individual's behavior from video. Th…
