This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely collection explores the role of digital technology in language education and assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recognises the unique pressures which the COVID-19 pandemic placed on assessment in language education, and examines the forced shift in assessment strategies to go online, the existing shortfalls, as well as unique affordances of technology-assisted L2 assessment. By showcasing international examples of successful digital and computer-assisted proficiency and skills testing, the volume addresses theoretical and practical concerns relating to test validity, reliability, ethics, and student experience in a range of testing contexts. Particular attention is given to identifying lessons and implications for future research and practice, and the challenges of implementing unplanned computer-assisted language assessment during a crisis. Insightfully unpacking the ‘lessons learned’ from COVID and its impact on the acceleration of the shift towards online course and assessment delivery, it offers important guidelines for navigating assessment in different instructional settings in times of crisis. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, educators, and faculty with interests in educational measurement, digital education and technology, and language assessment and testing.

Book excerpt: With the breakout of COVID-19, the current decade has brought a plethora of challenges and opportunities requiring a significant shift in our lives, most importantly, in the area of education. Throughout most of 2020, the pandemic presented many issues, requiring us to broaden our thinking and harness our creativity to develop and adopt solutions. At that time, the sudden shift did not leave us much time to reflect on these changes. We are now in a time of ‘great innovation’ within English for Academic Purposes (EAP) contexts. To this end, the volume shares the experiences and reflections of different stakeholders (including EAP practitioners, teacher trainers, assessment specialists and educational leaders) and their response to the unexpected challenges and opportunities brought about by the pandemic. The chapters specifically focus on how the pandemic has influenced and shaped our lives and future plans in the creation of our ‘new normal’.

Download or read book Exploring the Use of Video-confrencing Technology to Deliver the IELTS Speaking Test written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Face-to-face speaking assessment is widespread as a form of assessment, since it allows the elicitation of interactional skills. However, face-to-face speaking test administration is also logistically complex, resource-intensive and can be difficult to conduct in geographically remote or politically sensitive areas. Recent advances in video-conferencing technology now make it possible to engage in online face-to-face interaction more successfully than was previously the case, thus reducing dependency upon physical proximity. A major study was, therefore, commissioned to investigate how new technologies could be harnessed to deliver the face-to-face version of the IELTS Speaking test. Phase 1 of the study, carried out in London in January 2014, presented results and recommendations from a small-scale initial investigation designed to explore what similarities and differences, in scores, linguistic output and test-taker and examiner behaviour, could be discerned between face-to-face and Internet-based videoconferencing delivery of the Speaking test. This research used a convergent parallel mixed-methods design and the results of the analyses suggested that the speaking construct remains essentially the same across both delivery modes. Phase 2 of the study was a larger-scale study, carried out in Shanghai, Peopleâs Republic of China in May 2015. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was again used to allow for collection of an in-depth, comprehensive set of findings derived from multiple sources. The research included an analysis of rating scores under the two delivery conditions, test-takersâ linguistic output during the tests, as well as short interviews with test-takers following a questionnaire format. Many-facet Rasch Model (MFRM) analysis of test scores indicated that, although the video-conferencing mode was slightly more difficult than the face-to-face mode, when the results of all analytic scoring categories were combined, the actual score difference was negligibly small, thus supporting the Phase 1 findings.

Book excerpt: This report presents the results of a preliminary exploration and comparison of test-taker and examiner behaviour across two different delivery modes for an IELTS Speaking test: the standard face-to-face test administration, and test administration using Internetbased video-conferencing technology. The study sought to compare performance features across these two delivery modes with regard to two key areas : an analysis of test-takersâ scores and linguistic output on the two modes and their perceptions of the two modes an analysis of examinersâ test management and rating behaviours across the two modes, including their perceptions of the two conditions for delivering the speaking test. Data were collected from 32 test-takers who took two standardised IELTS Speaking tests under face-to-face and internet-based video-conferencing conditions. Four trained examiners also participated in this study. The convergent parallel mixed methods research design included an analysis of interviews with test-takers, as well as their linguistic output (especially types of language functions) and rating scores awarded under the two conditions. Examiners provided written comments justifying the scores they awarded, completed a questionnaire and participated in verbal report sessions to elaborate on their test administration and rating behaviour. Three researchers also observed all test sessions and took field notes. While the two modes generated similar test score outcomes, there were some differences in functional output and examiner interviewing and rating behaviours. This report concludes with a list of recommendations for further research, including examiner and test-taker training and resolution of technical issues, before any decisions about deploying (or not) a video-conferencing mode of the IELTS Speaking test delivery are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume provides a unique dual perspective on the evaluation of spoken discourse in that it combines a detailed portrayal of the design of a face-to-face speaking test with its actual implementation in interactional terms. Using many empirical extracts of interaction from authentic IELTS Speaking Tests, the book illustrates how the interaction is organised in relation to the institutional aim of ensuring valid assessment. The relationship between individual features of the interaction and grading criteria is examined in detail across a number of different performance levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting comprehensive research conducted with learners and educators in a range of settings, this volume showcases self-reflection as a powerful tool to enhance student learning. The text builds on empirical insights to illustrate how language professionals can foster critical self-reflection amongst learners of English as an additional language. This text uses ecologically sensitive practitioner research that addresses issues of both practical and pedagogical significance in the fields of TESOL, language teaching and learning, and teacher education. By synthesizing interdisciplinary research and theory, chapters show how various types of self-reflection—including guided and non-guided; group and individual forms; and written, oral, and technology-mediated reflection—can promote autonomous, self-regulated learning amongst students at various levels. Whilst offering readers a strong grounding in the theoretical and empirical knowledge that supports self-reflection, the volume gives constant attention is given to praxis, with a focus on effective pedagogical strategies and tools needed to implement, encourage, and evaluate critical learner reflection in readers’ own teaching or research. This volume will be a critical resource for language-teaching professionals interested in critical learner reflection, including in-service, pre-service, and teacher educators in the field of TESOL. Scholars and researchers in the fields of applied linguistics and language education more broadly will find this volume valuable.
