商品描述
This book explores the complex interplay between test-takers' strategic competence, task complexity, and performance, focusing on Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). It introduces and empirically validates the Strategic Competence Model of L2 Speaking (SCMLS), the first framework in second language research to clearly conceptualise strategic competence in speaking, designed primarily for Chinese EFL learners. It also provides a feasible solution to the long-standing challenge of designing and assessing task complexity and multimodality in L2 testing by using Robinson's (2015) Triadic Componential Framework. Methodologically, the employment of quantitative hierarchical linear modelling and qualitative, ChatGPT-assisted coding to investigate these relationships offers rigorous and efficient approaches to data analysis for future studies. The book provides pedagogical implications for metacognitive scaffolding and task development for EFL speaking instruction. This book serves as a useful reference for language assessment researchers, applied linguists, teacher educators, test developers, and graduate students interested in second language speaking performance and strategy use in assessment contexts.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了考生的策略能力、任務複雜性與表現之間的複雜互動，重點關注學習英語作為外語（EFL）的中文學習者。它介紹並實證驗證了第二語言口語的策略能力模型（Strategic Competence Model of L2 Speaking, SCMLS），這是第二語言研究中首個明確概念化口語策略能力的框架，主要針對中國的EFL學習者設計。本書還提供了一個可行的解決方案，以應對在第二語言測試中設計和評估任務複雜性及多模態的長期挑戰，使用了Robinson（2015）的三元組成框架（Triadic Componential Framework）。在方法論上，採用定量的階層線性模型和定性的ChatGPT輔助編碼來研究這些關係，為未來的研究提供了嚴謹且高效的數據分析方法。本書對於EFL口語教學中的元認知支架和任務開發提供了教學啟示。本書是語言評估研究者、應用語言學家、教師教育者、測試開發者以及對第二語言口語表現和評估情境中的策略使用感興趣的研究生的有用參考資料。
