Saeid Sarabi Asl; Mojgan Rashtchi; Ghafour Rezaie – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2024

Azizi, Zeinab; Namaziandost, Ehsan – International Journal of Language Testing, 2023
Though dynamic assessment (DA) has gained strong theoretical and empirical support over the last decades, second language (L2) practitioners have blamed it for its applicability in large classes.
