Abstract

Dynamic assessment (DA) has been broadly applied in educational settings over the past few decades. It not only helps evaluate students’ learning ability but also helps predict their potential future development at the same time. This study aims to investigate EFL adolescent learners’ attitudes toward applying DA to enhance their speaking performance. The data were gathered through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. 14 participants who had experienced DA were invited to do a questionnaire expressing their attitudes including three aspects, namely behavioural, cognitive, and emotional. Then six of them were selected to enter semi-structured interviews. The result of the questionnaire revealed that EFL adolescent learners possessed positive attitudes in three domains- behavioural, cognitive, and emotional. The data from the interviews showed that classroom anxiety was not a big problem for students. Eagerness, concentration, confidence, and motivation were what they gained after getting used to DA. Besides, DA was reported to enhance their speaking performance in terms of accuracy and fluency.

青少年英语学习者对运用动态评估提高口语表现的态度

在过去的几十年里，动态评估在教育领域得到了广泛的应用。它不仅有助于评估学生的学习能力，同时也有助于预测他们未来的发展潜力。本研究旨在探讨青少年英语学习者对运用言语辅助提高口语表现的态度。数据是通过问卷调查和半结构化访谈收集的。我们邀请了14名经历过DA的参与者填写一份调查问卷，表达他们的态度，包括行为、认知和情感三个方面。然后从中选择6人进入半结构化面试。问卷调查结果显示，青少年英语学习者在行为、认知和情感三个方面都具有积极的态度。访谈数据显示，课堂焦虑对学生来说并不是一个大问题。在习惯了DA后，他们获得了渴望、专注、自信和动力。此外，据报道，DA在准确性和流利性方面提高了他们的口语表现。& lt; / p> & lt; p> & lt; strong>文章可视化:< < <img src="/-counters-/soc/0032/a.p php" alt="Hit counter" />
