Pauline Frizelle; Ana Buckley; Tricia Biancone; Anna Ceroni; Darren Dahly; Paul Fletcher; Dorothy V. M. Bishop; Cristina McKean – Journal of Child Language, 2024
This study reports on the feasibility of using the Test of Complex Syntax- Electronic (TECS-E), as a self-directed app, to measure sentence comprehension in children aged 4 to 5 ½ years old; how testing apps might be adapted for effective independent use; and agreement levels between face-to-face supported computerized and independent computerized…

Schneider, Johannes; Richner, Robin; Riser, Micha – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2023
Autograding short textual answers has become much more feasible due to the rise of NLP and the increased availability of question-answer pairs brought about by a shift to online education. Autograding performance is still inferior to human grading. The statistical and black-box nature of state-of-the-art machine learning models makes them…

C. H., Dhawaleswar Rao; Saha, Sujan Kumar – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Multiple-choice question (MCQ) plays a significant role in educational assessment. Automatic MCQ generation has been an active research area for years, and many systems have been developed for MCQ generation. Still, we could not find any system that generates accurate MCQs from school-level textbook contents that are useful in real examinations.…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Reynolds, Dan – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: This study explores the roles of morphological skills (Morphological Awareness, Morphological-Syntactic-Knowledge,Morphological-Semantic-Knowledge, and Morphological-Orthographic/Phonological-Knowledge), vocabulary (knowledge of definitions, relationships between words, and polysemous meanings), and syntax in contributing to adolescent…

Roha M. Kaipa; Sarah Wendelbo – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
The research on language acquisition and retention has primarily focused on monolinguals and bilinguals, with comparatively few studies including trilinguals. To address this gap, the current study compares the acquisition and retention of a novel morphosyntactic rule in Spanish in twelve monolinguals, twelve bilinguals, and twelve trilinguals.…

Shukla, Vishakha; Long, Madeleine; Bhatia, Vrinda; Rubio-Fernandez, Paula – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
While most research on scalar implicature has focused on the lexical scale "some" vs "all," here we investigated an understudied scale formed by two syntactic constructions: categorizations (e.g., "Wilma is a nurse") and comparisons ("Wilma is like a nurse"). An experimental study by Rubio-Fernandez et al.…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Tock, Jamie; McFadden, Sara; Reynolds, Dan; Lantos, Tess; Jones, Sara – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2022
Assessment of language skills for upper elementary and middle schoolers is important due to the strong link between language and reading comprehension. Yet, currently few practical, reliable, valid, and instructionally informative assessments of language exist. This study provides validation evidence for Monster, P.I., which is a gamified,…

Gaillat, Thomas; Simpkin, Andrew; Ballier, Nicolas; Stearns, Bernardo; Sousa, Annanda; Bouyé, Manon; Zarrouk, Manel – ReCALL, 2021
This paper focuses on automatically assessing language proficiency levels according to linguistic complexity in learner English. We implement a supervised learning approach as part of an automatic essay scoring system. The objective is to uncover Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) criterial features in writings by learners…

Chia-Hsuan Liao; Ellen Lau – Second Language Research, 2024
Event concepts of common verbs (e.g. "eat," "sleep") can be broadly shared across languages, but a given language's rules for subcategorization are largely arbitrary and vary substantially across languages. When subcategorization information does not match between first language (L1) and second language (L2), how does this…

Vachharajani, Vinay; Pareek, Jyoti – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2019
E-learning plays a significant role in educating large number of students. In the delivery of e-learning material, automatic e-assessment has been applied only to some extent in the case of free response answers in highly technical diagrams in domains like software engineering, electronics, etc., where there is a great scope of imagination and…

Sílvia Perpiñán; Anna Cardinaletti – Second Language Research, 2024
This study attempts to explain a systematic phenomenon that has been described in interlanguage grammars crosslinguistically: Null-Prep, which consists of omitting the obligatory preposition in certain movement constructions. We propose that Null-Prep is not related to lack of knowledge of "wh"-movement, as previously assumed, but to…

Taghizadeh, Masoomeh – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2023
Within the last two decades, researchers have begun to investigate how L2 learners process syntactic, morpho-syntactic, and lexical information during the comprehension of L2 sentences. The present study aimed to add to research by investigating how L1 influences L2 processing of sentences indicating plurality in constructions involving numerals.…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Reynolds, Dan; Lantos, Tess; Gould, Sara; Tock, Jamie – Education Sciences, 2018
The history of vocabulary research has specified a rich and complex construct, resulting in calls for vocabulary research, assessment, and instruction to take into account the complex problem space of vocabulary. At the intersection of vocabulary theory and assessment modeling, this paper suggests a suite of modeling techniques that model the…
