Kharchenko, Tetiana; Semashko, T?t?ana; Dolynskiy, Ievgen; Bespala, Liliia; Ivanova, Tetiana – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2021
The "purpose" of the study is to identify how the speech production component of the linguistic competence, which seems to be a deficiency of using the Moodle LMS in the language training, can be enhanced through the use of the voice-administered language tests. Ten Moodle-based voice-administered language tests were designed, piloted,…

Göbel, Alexander; Frazier, Lyn; Clifton, Charles, Jr. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Recent studies of appositives have turned up differences between sentence-medial appositives and sentence-final appositives, for instance, in their availability for discourse continuations. Three experiments investigated whether medial appositives are more difficult to comprehend than final appositives and if so why. Experiment 1 tested…

Cape, Ruth; Vega-Mendoza, Mariana; Bak, Thomas H.; Sorace, Antonella – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
Research has shown that learning more than one language may have beneficial effects on executive functions, such as focused attention, inhibitory control, and switching between tasks. Evidence demonstrating these effects comes from studies with infants, children and adults from a range of language combinations. Much less direct evidence of such…

Denman, Deborah; Cordier, Reinie; Kim, Jae-Hyun; Munro, Natalie; Speyer, Renée – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: This study reports on data from a survey of speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) language assessment practices for elementary school-age children. The objective was to investigate the regularity with which SLPs use different types of assessments (described across data types, task types, environmental contexts, and dynamic features). This…

Godfroid, Aline; Kim, Kathy MinHye – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study addresses the role of domain-general mechanisms in second-language learning and knowledge using an individual differences approach. We examine the predictive validity of implicit-statistical learning aptitude for implicit second-language knowledge. Participants (n = 131) completed a battery of four aptitude measures and nine grammar…

Razavipour, Kioumars; Habibollahi, Parisa; Vahdat, Sedigheh – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
Of the many possible institutional and individual factors bearing on test preparation, one is how individuals go about choosing their achievement goals. Yet, the literature on the relationship between the two phenomena remains slim. The objectives of this study are twofold. First, it explores the range of test preparation practices exercised by…

O'Sullivan, Barry; Dunn, Karen; Berry, Vivien – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2021
Test preparation has been shown to affect educational test scores to varying degrees. In language testing, however, there are no cross-regional studies that consider the effects of gender and age on test preparation practices. This study represents an attempt to remedy this situation. Questionnaire respondents to a global survey were tasked with…

Foltz, Anouschka; Knopf, Karolin; Jonas, Kristina; Jaecks, Petra; Stenneken, Prisca – First Language, 2021
This study investigated whether we can find reliable comprehension-to-production syntactic priming effects in children aged 2;0 to 2;11 and how phonological working memory and sentence production skills relate to the syntactic priming process. A finding of reliable syntactic priming effects would provide strong evidence that children's syntactic…

Lee, Lung-Sheng – Online Submission, 2021
Taiwan's central government launched the 2030 Bilingual National Policy in 2018 to develop Taiwan into a Mandarin-English bilingual nation by 2030. It is anticipated that the chain of talent development--education, selection, training, and utilization--should interlock with each other to effectively reach the goal. Being in charge of national…

With this study I investigate the consequential validity of a state English language proficiency (ELP) assessment, following Messick's (1989) expanded theory on validity. I examined intended and unintended consequences of the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) through stakeholder perceptions. TELPAS is a federally…

Qianru Li; Kan Kan Chan – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) has been widely adopted in teaching and learning, yet there has been scant research concerning speaking test adaptation. An emerging type of mobile application is designed to facilitate test takers' performance in a high-stakes speaking test (e.g., the International English Language Testing System (IELTS)).…

Mark Feng Teng – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2024
This study investigates the effects of three word-focused exercise conditions on vocabulary learning. The exercises were developed based on the involvement load hypothesis. This study also explores how individual differences (e.g. second-language English proficiency level and working memory) affect vocabulary learning outcomes. A total of 180…

Nina Selina Hicks – Language Teaching Research, 2024
This study explores whether middle-school students can exploit explicitly addressed crosslinguistic lexical similarities between German and English to learn vocabulary more efficiently. Across six weeks, 260 Swiss German learners of English as a foreign language (17 classes) completed three vocabulary learning tests (T1, T2 and T3). Additionally,…
