Aspects of performance on line graph description tasks
Motivated by cognitive theories of graph comprehension, this study systematically manipulated characteristics of a line graph description task in a speaking test in ways to mitigate the influence of graph familiarity, a potential source of construct-irrelevant variance. It extends Xi (2005), which found that the differences in holistic scores on graph tasks with varying characteristics, although significant, were small. Using an analytic scoring …
How do we go about investigating test fairness
Previous test fairness frameworks have greatly expanded the scope of fairness, but do not provide a means to fully integrate fairness investigations and set priorities. This article proposes an approach to guide practitioners on fairness research and practices. This approach treats fairness as an aspect of validity and conceptualizes it as comparable validity for all relevant groups. Anything that weakens fairness compromises the validity of a te…
Evaluating analytic scoring for the Toefl® Academic Speaking Test (Tast) for operational use
This study explores the utility of analytic scoring for TAST in providing useful and reliable diagnostic information for operational use in three aspects of candidates' performance: delivery, language use and topic development. One hundred and forty examinees' responses to six TAST tasks were scored analytically on these three aspects of speech. G studies were used to investigate the dependability of the analytic scores, the distinctness of the a…
