Ming Lo; Yi-Xiu Lin; Chih-Wei Hue; Shiou-Yuan Chen; Tzu-Ya Wang; Pei-Hua Chen – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
This study aims to examine the relationship between vocabulary proficiency and short-term memory capacity in deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. We test the hypothesis that the relationship between vocabulary skills and digit span performance could be strengthened when the digit span task encompasses cross-modal integration processes. A group…

This study explores the relationship between English Learners (ELs) in the Texas school system and their outcomes on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) tests and the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS). Schumann's Acculturation Model and Krashen's Input Hypothesis were used as theoretical…

Kathy King – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The appropriate selection of standardized tests is integral to establishing an accurate early diagnosis and providing timely treatment to optimize language outcomes in young children. However, clinicians sometimes utilize tests that are not validated for this specific purpose. This applied dissertation was designed to investigate the validity of…

Ishikawa, Masako; Suzuki, Wataru – Modern Language Journal, 2023
Languaging--that is, using language to mediate thinking, orally or in writing--facilitates second language (L2) learning. As languaging requires the deliberate, analytical action of L2 learners, learners with higher language aptitude are likely to benefit more from languaging than those with lower aptitude. Thus, this study investigated the extent…

Kelley Nelson-Strouts – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The current study used principles of high-quality measurement design including domain specification, item generation, expert review, and piloting to develop two versions of a morphological awareness measure to be administered to 63 primarily English-speaking second grade students: the "Static Morphological Awareness Assessment (StMA)"…

Wilson, Alexander C.; Bishop, Dorothy V. M. – Journal of Child Language, 2022
It remains unclear whether pragmatic language skills and core language skills (grammar and vocabulary) are distinct language domains. The present work aimed to tease apart these domains using a novel online assessment battery administered to almost 400 children aged 7 to 13 years. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that pragmatic and core…

Belisle, Jordan; Dixon, Mark R.; Munoz, Bridget E.; Fricke-Steuber, Kate – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2022
The study evaluated the convergent validity of the PEAK-E-PA and two common assessments of language development used in educational and clinical settings: the ABLLS-R and the TOLD-I:4. The PEAK-E-PA provides a measure of a participant's ability to derive arbitrary stimulus relations, and may therefore provide a more complex analysis of language…

Huilin Chen; Huan Mei – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Based on theories on vocabulary knowledge, grammar knowledge, and reading comprehension subcomponents, ten attributes/subskills were defined for 50 items from relevant subtests of TEM4 (Band Four of Test for English Majors in China). Cognitive diagnosis was conducted on the TEM4 data of the randomly sampled 2285 examinees (roughly at the B2 level)…

Jin, Kuan-Yu; Eckes, Thomas – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2022
Recent research on rater effects in performance assessments has increasingly focused on rater centrality, the tendency to assign scores clustering around the rating scale's middle categories. In the present paper, we adopted Jin and Wang's (2018) extended facets modeling approach and constructed a centrality continuum, ranging from raters…

Barno S. Abdullaeva; Diyorjon Abdullaev; Nurislom I. Khursanov; Khurshida B. Kadirova; Laylo Djuraeva – International Journal of Language Testing, 2024
Cloze tests are commonly used in language testing as a quick measure of overall language ability or reading comprehension. A problem for the analysis of cloze tests with item response theory models is that cloze test items are locally dependent. This leads to the violation of the conditional or local independence assumption of IRT models. In this…

Alallo, Hajir Mahmood Ibrahim; Mohammed, Aisha; Hamid, Zayad Khalaf; Hassan, Aalaa Yaseen; Kadhim, Qasim Khlaif – International Journal of Language Testing, 2023
Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) have recently become very popular both for research purposes and for real testing endeavors for student assessment. A plethora of DCM models give researchers and practitioners a wide range of options for student diagnosis and classification. One intriguing option that some DCM models offer is the possibility…
