Comparing Examinee Attitudes Toward Computer-Assisted and Other Oral Proficiency Assessments.
Kenyon, Dorry M.; Malabonga, Valerie
Language Learning & Technology, v5 n2 p60-83 May 2001
Examined attitudes toward taking different formats of oral proficiency assessments across three languages: Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese. Students were administered both the tape-mediated Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview (SOPI) and a new Computerized Oral Proficiency Instrument (COPI). Questionnaire responses showed examinees, particularly those at the lower proficiency levels, felt the COPI was less difficult than the SOPI. (Author/VWL)
