The Effect of Context-Dependent and Context-Independent Test Design on Iranian EFL Learners' Performance on Vocabulary Tests
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the role of context in vocabulary assessment. The result of the research serves more about the best format for vocabulary assessment. In doing so, the performance of identical items on both the matching test (context independent test) and the C-test (context-dependent test) was compared on English L2 elementary students (n=40). The results showed that all students performed slightly better on the matching tests than the C-tests. Hence, context didn't play a major role in their performance in the C-test. Both teachers and learners may benefit from the findings of this study.
