Towards modelled testing of productive knowledge of collocations
Accurate use of collocations is seen as a measure of a learner’s proficiency in a second/foreign language. However, research is not conclusive as to how to best test productive knowledge of collocations and, more fundamentally, there is no agreement on how vocabulary size, i.e. word comprehension, influences collocation production within a constrained or unconstrained context. This article elaborates on a battery of tests aimed at examining these…
Utilising lecturer input to inform the design of an audio e-assessment tool
With the rise of digital recording devices and web-based learning platforms, audio feedback has grown in popularity owing to easier distribution of recordings. Audio feedback is touted as having multiple advantages over written feedback. Although there are many studies reporting on the use of audio feedback and its effectiveness and efficiency, none of these have reported on the needs and requirements of lecturers to effectively provide audio fee…
A practice-based evaluation of an on-line writing evaluation system
The core question interrogated by Spencer and Louw in this article is: ‘What is the theoretical best practice in using computer-assisted language learning (CALL) for automated response to student writing, and how effectively can this be applied to the South African teaching context?’ To answer this question, we discuss the advances represented by the CriterionSM Online Writing Evaluation system, a web-based service developed by ETS (Educational T…
The effectiveness of standardised feedback when L2 students revise writing
Despite an ongoing debate about the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of feedback on student writing, the practice prevails in educational settings. Louw (2006) hypothesises that the concept of feedback is sound, but the practice needs refinement. One such attempt is standardising written feedback on student writing. This article reports on an experiment which tested the relative effectiveness of normal feedback techniques against a standardised meth…
