Face validity and washback effects of the shortened PTE Academic: insights from teachers in Mainland China
No full textPearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic), a high-stakes English language proficiencytest, underwent substantial revisions in 2021. The test duration was reducedfrom 3 h to 2 h by reducing specific task numbers and sections. This study investigatesthe impact of these changes on teachers’ perceptions and teaching practices, areaspreviously underexplored in language assessment literature. It focuses on the implicationsof the test’s modifications, examining the face validity and washback effectsthrough the lens of teachers in mainland China. Semi-structured interviews with fourexperienced PTE Academic test trainers, who were familiar with both the originaland revised test formats, reveals that the revised PTE Academic is perceived to maintainstrong face validity, particularly noted in its academic authenticity, balancedskill structure, and perceived result accuracy. Additionally, most teachers perceivedan increase in test difficulty. A mixed washback effect was observed: while improvementsin students’ language competence—a positive outcome—were noted, teachersalso reported a continued reliance on teaching test-oriented strategies for higher-scoringtasks, indicating negative washback. This study highlights the significant implicationsof reducing PTE Academic’s duration and offers targeted recommendations for itsfuture improvement. These suggestions aim to enhance students’ academic languageskills, thereby better aligning PTE Academic with the practical language abilitiesrequired in university settings
A case study of washback and test preparation of the new version of PTE academic
No full textThe Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE-A), a widely used high-stakes language proficiency test for university admissions and migration purposes, underwent a notable change from a three-hour to a two-hour version in November 2021. The implementation of the new version has prompted inquiries into the washback effects on various stakeholders. Focusing on a small sample of Chinese test takers (n=10), this paper explores washback effects following the revision of PTE-A and the complexity of test preparation through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The findings suggest a shorter test length is preferred and several different methods are adopted for test preparation which gives evidence to the positive washback. However, participants reported some confusion regarding certain test items, leading to the adoption of construct-irrelevant methods. This, in turn, may affect the face validity of PTE-A. While addressing the literature gap in this field, recommendations for improving the test design to better meet test takers’ needs are provided
