Tzu-Hua Wang; Yu Sun; Nai-Wen Huang – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2023
This research applied a web-based dynamic assessment system, GPAM-WATA system, to help low English achievers to perform self-directed learning of junior high school English grammar. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. A total of 124 seventh graders from four classes participated in this research. Participants were randomly divided into the…

David Allen; Rie Koizumi – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2024
"The English Speaking Achievement Test for Japanese Junior High School Students" (ESAT-J) was introduced to contribute to levelling up public English education in Tokyo in 2022. Critics, however, have made claims in the mass media against the use of the test and stakeholder groups have called for its cancellation. This paper presents an…

Solano-Flores, Guillermo; Shyyan, Vitaliy; Chía, Magda; Kachchaf, Rachel – International Multilingual Research Journal, 2023
We examined semiotic exchangeability in pop-up glossary translations and illustrations used as supports for second language learners (SLLs) in computer-administered mathematics tests. In a sample of 516 mathematics items, Grades 3-8 and 11, from a large-scale assessment program in the US, test developers identified terms that could be translated…

Miao Li; Yueming Xi; Esther Geva; Rong Yan; Wei Zhao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
It has been suggested that the reading acceleration program (RAP) (Breznitz et al. in Nature Communications 4: 1486, 2013), in which participants are forced to read at a rate faster than their normal reading fluency rate, improves reading fluency and comprehension in alphabetic languages. However, its effectiveness has never been examined in…

Mohammad Ahmar Khan; Oysha Kurbonova; Diyorjon Abdullaev; A. Hussien Radie; Nirvana Basim – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted assessment on young L2 learners' vocabulary knowledge, immunity, and resilience, considering parental and teacher support roles. Sixty junior high school students in Afghanistan, aged 13 to 14, participated in the study. They were divided into an experimental group…

Juhee Lee; Yujung Ko – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Metaverse technology is becoming increasingly popular in educational environments around the world. However, before it is widely applied in public education for adolescents learning English as a foreign language (EFL), it is crucial to assess its effectiveness in comparison to traditional teaching approaches. Our study involved 336 seventh-grade…

Barenberg, Jonathan; Berse, Timo; Reimann, Laura; Dutke, Stephan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
The application of knowledge to new contexts (i.e., transfer) is a central aim of learning processes and has become a new focus of testing effect research. In a quasi-experimental design, we investigated the transfer of retrieval practice effects on English vocabulary learning on eighth-grade students (N = 182) by applying a typical testing effect…

Kao, Yu-Ting; Kuo, Hung-Chih – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study implemented the principles of dynamic assessment (DA) with computer technology, iSpring Quiz Maker, to (1) identify the English listening difficulties of 172 L2 English learners; (2) diagnose their individual learning needs, and (3) promote their future potential abilities. Upon evaluating the participating junior high school students'…

Lea Vergara Mendoza – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The problem is that translations of language in standardized mathematics tests are not provided, which reduces the achievement scores of native-Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs) in Grades 4 and 8. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore teachers' perceptions of language translation for the National Assessment of…

Thorsen, Cecilia; Henry, Alastair; Cliffordson, Christina – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2020
In the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) motivation is conceptualized to be generated by discomfort associated with the learner's experience of a discrepancy between their current L2 self, and their ideal L2 self. However, in the L2MSS model, this discrepancy is not operationalized. A questionnaire containing measures of current L2 selves was…

Eberharter, Kathrin; Kormos, Judit; Guggenbichler, Elisa; Ebner, Viktoria S.; Suzuki, Shungo; Moser-Frötscher, Doris; Konrad, Eva; Kremmel, Benjamin – Language Testing, 2023
In online environments, listening involves being able to pause or replay the recording as needed. Previous research indicates that control over the listening input could improve the measurement accuracy of listening assessment. Self-pacing also supports the second language (L2) comprehension processes of test-takers with specific learning…

Mays, Benjamin R.; Yeh, Hui-Chin; Chen, Nian-Shing – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2020
While Audience Response System (ARS) such as Kahoot! can promote learner self-regulation and enhance comprehension by engaging cognitive processing on multiple levels, learning behavior in questioning with ARS was understudied. The present study explores the use of Kahoot! with student-generated questioning, to report the effect on students'…

Yeom, Soohye; Jun, Henry – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2020
This study investigated whether young Korean students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) engage in similar processes when responding to reading comprehension questions delivered in two different test-presentation modes: paper and computer. It examined the relationship between the two modes and test-takers' reading comprehension…

Chen, Jianlin – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2020
The parasitic model proposes that novel words in L3 learning will build parasitic connections to already learned words that share orthographic or phonological similarities. This accounts for little in terms of the connections between words that share very few similarities. The present study explored the parasitic connections of L3 word concepts to…

Lopez, Alexis A.; Guzman-Orth, Danielle; Zapata-Rivera, Diego; Forsyth, Carolyn M.; Luce, Christine – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
Substantial progress has been made toward applying technology enhanced conversation-based assessments (CBAs) to measure the English-language proficiency of English learners (ELs). CBAs are conversation-based systems that use conversations among computer-animated agents and a test taker. We expanded the design and capability of prior…
