Introducing Second Language Assessment
“I Feel Like Talking With a Friend”
As an important area of exploration within spoken dialogue systems (SDSs), empathetic spoken dialogue systems (E-SDSs) can provide emotional support for interlocutors, and this feature has the potential to be embedded in language teaching, learning, and assessment. However, the potential of E-SDSs in second language (L2) oral assessment remains underexplored, particularly regarding their ability to elicit interactional competence (IC) and learner…
Linguistic Features Distinguishing Students’ Writing Ability Aligned with Cefr Levels
A substantive body of research has been revolving around the linguistic features that distinguish different levels of students’ writing samples (e.g. Crossley and McNamara 2012; McNamara et al. 2015; Lu 2017). Nevertheless, it is somewhat difficult to generalize the findings across various empirical studies, given that different criteria were adopted to measure language learners’ proficiency levels (Chen and Baker 2016). Some researchers suggeste…
The Effect of Alignment on the Listening and Speaking Continuation Task
This study aims to examine the effect of alignment on the listening and speaking continuation task (LSCT). A total of 47 Chinese L2 English learners were recruited as participants for the study. They were divided into two groups and were instructed to complete two separate continuation tasks with different input languages (English and Chinese). The scripts of oral continuation performed by the participants were analyzed from four aspects: word fr…
Developing individualized feedback for listening assessment
In this study, we present the development of individualized feedback for a large-scale listening assessment by combining standard setting and cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) approaches. We used the performance data from 3,358 students’ item-level responses to a field test of a national EFL test primarily intended for tertiary-level EFL learners. The results showed that proficiency classifications and subskill mastery classifications were ge…
Bridging local needs and national standards
Local language tests are an arena where national language standards can be operationalized to create a hub for integrating assessment results and language support. Few studies, however, have examined the operationalization of national standards in local language assessment contexts. In this study, we proposed a model to present the integration of national standards in local contexts to guide assessment, teaching, and learning. Using this model, w…

Revisiting judgment translation in Hong Kong
As Hong Kong is the only common law jurisdiction operating in Chinese, alongside English, writing a common law judgment in Chinese is like exploring an uncharted domain in legal discourse. Apart from those judgments originally written in Chinese, Chinese judgments have also been prepared by way of translation from English. Besides, there are also English translations of Chinese judgments of jurisprudential value. Judgments in Hong Kong therefore …
Applying unidimensional and multidimensional item response theory models in testlet-based reading assessment
This study examined the relative effectiveness of the multidimensional bi-factor model and multidimensional testlet response theory (TRT) model in accommodating local dependence in testlet-based reading assessment with both dichotomously and polytomously scored items. The data used were 14,089 test-takers’ item-level responses to the testlet-based reading comprehension section of the Graduate School Entrance English Exam (GSEEE) in China administ…
A corpus-based investigation into the validity of the CET-SET group discussion
This article reports the results of an investigation, based on a 170 000-word corpus of test performance, of the validity of College English Test-Spoken English Test (CET-SET) group discussion by examining the degree of interaction among candidates in the group discussion task with respect to a set of interactional language functions (ILFs) to be assessed. The results show a low degree of interaction among candidates in the CET-SET group discussi…
