Examining the linguistic aspects of speech that most efficiently discriminate between upper levels of the revised IELTS Pronunciation scale

Abstract

The goal of this study is to identify the linguistic factors that most efficiently distinguish between upper levels of the IELTS Pronunciation scale. Analyses of test-taker speaking performance, coupled with IELTS examiners' ratings of discrete elements and qualitative comments, reveal ways of increasing the transparency of rating scale descriptors for IELTS examiners.
