Correlation, regression, and factor analyses were conducted to explore the predictive power of PTBST and EPE as well as to examine the construct exclusiveness of these two tests. Two important constructs for academic success were operationalized in PTBST not covered by EPE: the ability to synthesize written an aural stimuli into spoken responses and presenting the resultant synthesis orally in a comprehensible and fluent fashion. I this thesis, a proposed computerized task-based speaking test (PTBST) was designed based on the communicative language ability model proposed by Bachman (1990), and its effect on the predictive power of the academic English proficiency exam (EPE) administered at the Middle East Technical University, Northern Cyprus Campus (METU NCC) as an English proficiency screening criterion was examined. It is hoped that this resource will be an important one in your ongoing journey to assessment literacy. We have made every effort to include definitions that are readable and easy to understand, even for teachers with little or no assessment background.
Written by teachers for teachers, these 285 terms and their respective definitions represent the collective knowledge of 81 teachers from 27 countries worldwide.
Learning the terminology and jargon of the field of language assessment also means understanding the concepts represented by these terms and understanding how they are interlinked and interrelated. It can be used as part of a course or as a reference for those teachers who want to increase their knowledge of language testing and assessment.
