Sükür, Murat; Yilmaz-Yakisik, Burçak; Yangin-Eksi, Gonca – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2023
Research on dynamic assessment (DA) has been conducted on the efficiency of either face-to-face (F2F) or mobile-assisted (MA) DA sessions. However, studies investigating the difference between these sessions conducted in the foreign language learning context are scarce. Thus, this study aims to explore the differences between F2F- and MA-DA…

Estaji, Masoomeh; Saeedian, Abdulbaset – Reading Psychology, 2020
This study, besides focusing on the applicability of computer-mediated Dynamic Assessment (DA), attempts to investigate the impacts of mediation provision in three different, albeit related, manners, that is, through computer, human, and mixture of both human and computer, on reading comprehension of L2 learners. In this mixed-methods study, a…

Ghahderijani, Behnoosh Heshmat; Namaziandost, Ehsan; Tavakoli, Mona; Kumar, Tribhuwan; Magizov, Rustem – Language Testing in Asia, 2021
This study attempted to check the impact of two dynamic assessment (DA) models on speaking CAF. DA, as opposed to static assessment, is conceived as an interactive approach to assessment that integrates teaching and testing into a unified instructional engagement. To achieve the goals of this research, a convenience sample of 90 upper-intermediate…

Alemi, Minoo; Miri, Mola; Mozafarnezhad, Alemeh – International Journal of Language Testing, 2019
Although group dynamic assessment (GDA) has been gaining attention over the recent decade, its applicability in online context has been left rather underexplored. Hence, the current study examined the effects of GDA on developing EFL learners' written grammatical accuracy in the online context of 'Telegram'. To this aim, 60 Iranian EFL students…

Liu, Ming; Wang, Yuqi; Xu, Weiwei; Liu, Li – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2017
The number of Chinese engineering students has increased greatly since 1999. Rating the quality of these students' English essays has thus become time-consuming and challenging. This paper presents a novel automatic essay scoring algorithm called PSOSVR, based on a machine learning algorithm, Support Vector Machine for Regression (SVR), and a…

Zorio-Grima, Ana; Merello, Paloma – Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2020
Sometimes class-attendance is a component (or requirement) to benefit from the continuous assessment. The objective of this study is to evidence that some students seem to be getting unfairly penalized for nonattendance. To address this issue, we provide alternative assessment solutions taking into account the different profiles of the students.…

Kozulin, Alex; Levi, Tziona – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2018
Little attention has been paid to the question about generality versus modularity of the learning potential (LP). The main research question of our study was: Is the students' LP established with the help of a dynamic assessment of their English as a foreign language (EFL) oral proficiency general enough to predict their subsequent EFL reading and…

Liu, Heidi Han-Ting – Working Papers in TESOL & Applied Linguistics, 2014
Diagnostic testing has long been valued by language testing researchers and practitioners for its ability to inform both teaching and learning. However, the number of well-developed diagnostic language tests is relatively low, most likely due to the difficulty in constructing a diagnostic test that incorporates a wide enough range of language…
