Yuwei Xia; Ying Luo; Xiaofei Lu – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Grounded in Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, Dynamic Assessment (DA) can provide fine-tuned information regarding learners' development and opportunities to promote further development. Vocabulary knowledge, because of its complex nature, requires a more sensitive assessment, especially for second language (L2) learners. This systematic literature…

Mongkolchai Tiansoodeenon; Pragasit Sitthitikul – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2024
Learner diversity has been identified as a barrier to language learning and teaching. The purpose of this article was to conduct an analysis of the implementation of Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory in the field of English language teaching. MI theory, as introduced by Howard Gardner (1983), offers a new concept of intelligence, one that has led…

Laurejane B. Piano; Maria Elaine D. Tabilog; Camilla J. Vizconde – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2023
The emerging interest in self-directed learning (SDL) in the context of language learning has focused less on specific learning strategies selected by language learners based on their discoveries. Anchored on Boyatzis' Theory of Self directed Learning (2001) and Classifications of Language Learning Strategies by O'Mally and Chamot (1990), and…

Malihe YarAhmadi; Hossein Kargar Behbahani – Language Testing in Asia, 2025
Traditional approaches to language assessment have been criticized for their inadequacy in taking account of language learners' potential for development. To obviate this pitfall in traditional assessment, language teachers and researchers have been paying increasing attention to dynamic assessment (DA), which is rooted in Vygotsky's (1978)…

Lantolf, James P.; Xi, Jiao; Minakova, Valeriya – Language Teaching, 2021
In the initial sociocultural theory (SCT) timeline, Lantolf and Beckett (2009) surveyed a broad spectrum of research informed by sociocultural psychology as it was extended into the field of second language acquisition and language teaching. Since that time, the amount of research that has been published within the SCT framework has grown…

Sun, Zhijun; Xu, Peng; Wang, Jianqin – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2023
The construct of "learning potential" has been proposed to capture differences between learner independent performance and performance during Dynamic Assessment (DA). This paper introduces a new LPS formula implemented in a DA study involving Pakistani learners of L2 Chinese. Learners were randomly assigned to a control or experimental…

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. To ameliorate this limitation, peer-dynamic assessment (peer-DA), rooted in the conceptualization of zone of proximal development (ZPD), can be…

Alsaadi, Haya Mohammed Anazi – English Language Teaching, 2021
Language assessment is a vital part of the process of learning and teaching a foreign language. Language learners need to be provided with the best methods to measure how much they are acquiring the target language and to select the most authentic tasks of testing for them. As it has been recommended to use multiple assessment instead of…

Mehri Kamrood, Ali; Davoudi, Mohammad; Ghaniabadi, Saeed; Amirian, Seyyed Mohammad Reza – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2021
Dynamic Assessment (DA) is proposed as a workable diagnostic tool in second or foreign language context. Compared to traditional non-dynamic testing, DA presents a more comprehensive account of human beings' abilities through addressing both the fully internalized abilities and the abilities that are in the process of being internalized. However,…

Ozturan, Tuba; Uysal, Hacer Hande – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2022
Dynamic Assessment (DA) has lately taken the floor as an alternative by embedding instruction into assessment. Grounded in the dialogic teacher-learner interaction during an in tandem work, DA asserts that diagnosing the learners' matured abilities and needs, mediating them accordingly, and then observing their maturing abilities and microgenesis…

Poehner, Matthew E.; Leontjev, Dmitri – Language Teaching Research, 2020
The present article argues for a conceptual distinction between corrective feedback and mediation that emphasizes the status of the latter not as an instructional practice but as a defining feature of human psychology (Vygotsky, 1987) that has direct implications for how instruction might be approached. Specifically, Sociocultural Theory (SCT)…

Alzaid, Faten; Alkarzae, Nouf – Online Submission, 2019
Assessment has a significant influence on the process of teaching and learning. It is essential to close the gap between learners' performance and the target performance. The rapid changing of technology reached the assessment community by developing new and different ways of formative assessments. This paper is written to distinguish between…

Andujar, Alberto – ReCALL, 2020
The present investigation analyses the potential of a pedagogical dynamic assessment (DA) approach to foster second language (L2) development through the use of a mobile instant messaging application. Students' zone of actual and proximal development is observed through the use of a grammar and vocabulary level test and the use of the WhatsApp…

Roper, Soleil; Carpenter, Daniel; Garza, Esther – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
This investigation examined the approaches bilingual education elementary teachers implemented to develop student science and English language understanding. In this investigation, teachers used Proficiency Level Descriptors (PLDs) to assess bilingual-ELs' (BLs) English writing understanding. Teacher interviews, student writing samples, and the…

Xian, Liuyan – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2020
From the perspective of Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), dynamic assessment (DA) highlights the role of mediation in the learning process by unveiling the distance between actual learning proficiency and potential learning development. DA is more helpful in fostering students' ability to solve problems…
