This study aims to compare the G and Phi coefficients as estimated by D studies for a measurement tool with the G and Phi coefficients obtained from real cases in which items of differing difficulty levels were added and also to determine the conditions under which the D studies estimated reliability coefficients closer to reality. The study group…

Phuong Thi Tuyet Nguyen – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Source-based writing, in which writers read or listen to academic content before writing, has been considered to better assess academic writing skills than independent writing tasks (Read, 1990; Weigle, 2004). Because scores resulting from ratings of test takers' source-based writing task responses are treated as indicators of their academic…

Xian Liao; Pengfei Zhao – Written Communication, 2024
Integrated writing (i.e., writing from sources) being a complex process, requires various linguistic and cognitive skills interacting with each other in a dynamic way. While recent studies have increasingly documented that writing processes are driven by a suite of cognitive abilities named executive function (EF), their roles in a literacy…

Taichi Yamashita – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
The present paper reports on the effectiveness and inclusiveness of human-delivered synchronous written corrective feedback (SWCF) in paired writing tasks. Replicating Yamashita, Study 2 and Study 3 each conducted a classroom-based quasi-experimental study in an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) writing program at an American university. In Study…

Alistair M. Moore; Peter Fairhurst; Judith M. Bennett; Christine Harrison; Catarina F. Correia; Jessie Durk – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
High-stakes assessments prominently influence what is done in secondary school science lessons ('washback' effects). It is therefore important that assessments of knowledge and understanding gained from practical work are constructed to reward and incentivise effective practices in practical work. To do that, they must differentiate between pupils…

Lestari, Santi B.; Brunfaut, Tineke – Language Testing, 2023
Assessing integrated reading-into-writing task performances is known to be challenging, and analytic rating scales have been found to better facilitate the scoring of these performances than other common types of rating scales. However, little is known about how specific operationalizations of the reading-into-writing construct in analytic rating…

Arefsadr, Sajjad; Babaii, Esmat – TESL-EJ, 2023
According to the IELTS official website, IELTS candidates usually score lower in the IELTS Writing test than in the other language skills. This is disappointing for the many IELTS candidates who fail to get the overall band score they need. Surprisingly enough, few studies have addressed this issue. The present study, then, is aimed at shedding…

Ibtissem Knouzi – TESL Canada Journal, 2023
Designed to gauge the actions, skills, and strategies that students use to identify, extract, and synthesize information from multiple source materials, integrated writing tasks are particularly challenging for ESL writers. Previous research tended to focus on a limited number of integrated tasks, mostly summaries of one or two sources, thus…

Huebner, Alan; Skar, Gustaf B. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
Writing assessments often consist of students responding to multiple prompts, which are judged by more than one rater. To establish the reliability of these assessments, there exist different methods to disentangle variation due to prompts and raters, including classical test theory, Many Facet Rasch Measurement (MFRM), and Generalizability Theory…
