Communicative language testing: Current issues and future research
This article discusses a range of current issues and future research possibilities in Communicative Language Testing (CLT) using, as its departure point, the key questions which emerged during the CLT symposium at the 2010 Language Testing Forum (LTF). The paper begins with a summary of the 2010 symposium discussion in which three main issues related to CLT are identified: (1) the “mainstreamin...
متن کاملSome fundamental issues concerning degrees of unsolvability
Recall that RT is the upper semilattice of recursively enumerable Turing degrees. We consider two fundamental, classical, unresolved issues concerning RT . The first issue is to find a specific, natural, recursively enumerable Turing degree a ∈ RT which is > 0 and < 0 ′. The second issue is to find a “smallness property” of an infinite, co-recursively enumerable set A ⊆ ω which ensures that the...
متن کاملSome Foundational Issues Concerning Anticipatory Systems
Some foundational conceptual issues concerning anticipatory systems are identified and discussed: 1) The doubly temporal nature of anticipation is noted: anticipations are directed toward one time, and exist at another; 2) Anticipatory systems can be open: they can perturb and be perturbed by states external to the system; 3) Anticipation may be facilitated by a system modeling the relation bet...
متن کاملIssues concerning feedback about genetic testing and risk of depression.
BACKGROUND Recent studies show that adverse life events have a significantly greater impact on depression onset for those with the s/s allele of the genotype for the 5-HT gene-linked promoter region. Research in genes related to risk of depression leads to the question of how this information is received by individuals. AIMS To investigate factors related to the response to receiving one's ow...
متن کاملStudents’ Oral Assessment Considering Various Task Dimensions and Difficulty Factors
This study investigated students’ oral performance ability accounting for various oral analytical factors including fluency, lexical and structural complexity and accuracy with each subcategory. Accordingly, 20 raters scored the oral performances produced by 200 students and a quantitative design using a MANOVA test was used to investigate students’ score differences of various levels of langua...
