Mapping Toeic® LinkTM Scores to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
This study maps TOEIC® LinkTM assessment scores to levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages based on the judgments of a panel of experts. The Bookmark method was used to map the TOEIC Link assessments containing multiple-choice items (listening and reading), whereas the Expected Task Score method was used to map the assessments containing constructed-response items (speaking and writing). The panelists reported high leve…
Toeic® LinkTM Assessments Technical Manual
This technical manual provides a comprehensive overview of the TOEIC® LinkTM assessments, offering detailed insights into their purpose, design, and intended users. The manual begins with an introduction that outlines the assessment objectives and target audience. Subsequent sections delve into the specific constructs and tasks of the four TOEIC Link assessments: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. The remaining sections examine the design…
Validation of Language Assessments
Validation is an activity that establishes the extent to which a language assessment is meaningful and useful. This activity involves the collection of different types of evidence in order to make a holistic evaluation of an assessment's fitness for a purpose. Several frameworks have been introduced to guide the collection and evaluation of this evidence for language assessments, and the argument‐based approach has become increasingly prominent. …
Predicting communicative effectiveness in the international workplace
In this study we examined the extent to which TOEIC® Speaking test scores relate to evaluations by professionals in the international workplace, the target language use domain of TOEIC tests. Linguistic laypersons in 10 countries were invited to participate in an online research survey. The survey incorporated a stratified sample of test-taker ( N = 99) responses to three representative tasks from the TOEIC Speaking test (reading a text aloud, re…
Screener tests need validation too
In this study, we define the term screener test, elaborate key considerations in test design, and describe how to incorporate the concepts of practicality and argument-based validation to drive an evaluation of screener tests for language assessment. A screener test is defined as a brief assessment designed to identify an examinee as a member of a particular population or subpopulation. Consequently, its focus of measurement is to provide informa…
