Text Integration and Speaking Proficiency: Linguistic, Individual Differences, and Strategy Use Considerations
No full textThe current study examined the effects of text-based relational (i.e., cohesion), propositional-specific (i.e., lexical), and syntactic features in a source text on subsequent integration of the source text in spoken responses. It further investigated the effects of word integration on human ratings of speaking performance while taking into consideration individual characteristics in test-takers (e.g., listening proficiency, age, grade point average, working memory capacity) and test-taker strategy use (e.g., note-taking strategies). A total of 263 test-takers’ speaking samples were collected using TOEFL-iBT research forms of integrated listen/speak items. This data and, individual characteristics measures and note-taking data were collected over two days. These spoken samples were transcribed and analyzed in terms of textual integration at lexical, cohesion, and syntactic levels. The linguistic features along with the individual characteristics and note-taking data were used to predict human scores of speaking proficiency. The results indicate that the linguistic properties of the source text are almost perfect predicators of which words test-takers will integrate into their response. Moreover, it was found that text integration is an important factor that affects human ratings of speaking proficiency that goes beyond individual test takers’ characteristics and note-taking strategies

Examining lexical development in second language learners: An approximate replication of Salsbury, Crossley & McNamara (2011)
No full textThis paper reports on an approximate or partial replication of a study by Salsbury, Crossley & McNamara (2011) that examined the longitudinal developmental of a number of core lexical features related to word imageability, concreteness, familiarity, and meaningfulness in a spoken corpus of English second language (L2) learners. Salsbury et al. found no developmental growth patterns for word familiarity but strong growth patterns for word concreteness, imageability, and meaningfulness as a function of time such that L2 learners began to produce more sophisticated words. Salsbury et al. were the first to formally identify this relation between English proficiency and lexical sophistication, and a large number of studies investigating lexical proficiency have cited this article as a foundational study. There were, however, a number of limitations to the Salsbury et al. (2011) study that make it appropriate for replication. First, the sample size was relatively small (six learners sampled six times over the course of a year). In addition, the study did not control for a number of factors important in L2 acquisition studies (e.g., age, proficiency level, gender) and used a statistical technique that averaged group means and did not properly account for individual participant variation. This replication study addresses these areas and the findings from the replication reflect those reported by Salsbury et al., providing support for the notion that developing L2 lexicons move from the production of words with stronger links to core lexical items to words with weaker links to core lexical items over time. Implications for language learning and teaching are discussed

Equitable Access to Intelligent Tutoring Systems Through Paper-Digital Integration
No full textIntelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) can only respond adaptively to the digital learning activities of the students. If students are learning offline without any digital devices, they have little or no means to receive personalized learning materials with the help of intelligent systems. This paper proposes a Paper-Digital Integration System that can provide offline learners equitable access to ITS capabilities by looking at their work on paper and giving personalized printable feedback. We analyzed data from a paper algebra assessment of N = 17 students and found mistakes that may generalize and help us offer adaptive paper-based recommendations to students. Our analysis showed us some specific algebra mistakes that may help in providing intelligent feedback.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Design Aesthetic
