EFL/ESL Teaching and Learning Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Second Language Acquisition and Learning

Abstract

This paper discusses methods for obtaining verbal report data on second- language test-taking strategies; reports on types of findings obtained in a number of studies conducted by university students on how learners take reading tests, in particular cloze and multiple-choice tests; and finally con siders the implications of the findings for prospective test takers and test constructors. The main conclusion is that a closer fit should be obtained between how test constructors intend for their tests to be taken and how respondents actually take them.
