| Testing | Placement Test Development This was an investigation of whether a cloze test from a narrative passage would be a more time-effective replacement for the current initial placement video test used at Aso College for English majors. In designing the test, I first created two versions online. The tests included blank spaces for answers. When finished, the test takers clicked a button to submit their answers. 48 native speakers completed the tests, randomly split into two even groups for each test version. From the data collected, I could (1) do item analysis on both versions of the test, and (2) compile a bank of semantically acceptable answers. When the students at Aso College took the final paper version of the test, the tests were scored three ways: a) exact answers, b) semantically acceptable answers culled exclusively from the native speaker data (NS-SEMAC), and c) semantically acceptable answers based on individual assessment of each answer provided. There was an unsurprisingly high correlation between each of the scoring methods. It was found that the NS-SEMAC scoring was not only much faster to do, it also correctly predicted the highest number of class level placements. |
