Matthew D. Coss – Language Learning & Technology, 2025
The extent to which writing modality (i.e., hand-writing vs. keyboarding) impacts second-language (L2) writing assessment scores remains unclear. For alphabetic languages like English, research shows mixed results, documenting both equivalent and divergent scores between typed and handwritten tests (e.g., Barkaoui & Knouzi, 2018). However, for…

Dahwi Ahn; Jason C. K. Chan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Testing can potentiate new learning, which is often called the "forward testing effect." One potential explanation for this benefit is that testing might enable participants to use more effective learning strategies subsequently. We investigated this possibility by asking participants to report their encoding strategies in a multi-list…

Diyorjon Abdullaev; Djuraeva Laylo Shukhratovna; Jamoldinova Odinaxon Rasulovna; Jumanazarov Umid Umirzakovich; Olga V. Staroverova – International Journal of Language Testing, 2024
Local item dependence (LID) refers to the situation where responses to items in a test or questionnaire are influenced by responses to other items in the test. This could be due to shared prompts, item content similarity, and deficiencies in item construction. LID due to a shared prompt is highly probable in cloze tests where items are nested…
