Are You Afraid of Taking an Online Foreign Language Test?
Garcia Laborda, Jesus; Robles, Valencia
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual World Conference on Educational Technology (6th, Kemer, Antalya-Turkey, May 12-14, 2016)
Computer based testing has become a prevailing tendency in education. Each year, a large number of students take online language tests everywhere in the world. In fact, there is a tendency to make these tests more and more used due to their low cost of delivery. However, many students are forced to take them despite their interests, feelings and cognitive style. This paper describes a study with the fairly new APTIS Test (British Council). 35 students took the test and responded to a structured questionnaire on their feelings while taking it. Results indicate that the test brings a considerable amount of anxiety along with it. [This paper was published in: "New Trends and Issues Proceedings on Humanities and Social Sciences." [Online].
