Compared to tests employing single-word or limited-context prompts, research suggests that contextualized assessment is more reliable and demonstrates better concurrent validity. In meaning-recall vocabulary assessment, examinees retrieve target-word meaning from memory and typically demonstrate knowledge via a written L2-to-L1 translation. Compared to multiple-choice formats, meaning-recall yields more reliable data, correlates more strongly with reading comprehension, and is less influenced by guessing and test strategies. To facilitate these approaches to vocabulary assessment, this article introduces a resource for teachers and researchers to create, administer, and mark contextualized meaning-recall tests. Users input a passage, select target items, and share the test URL with examinees. Examinees then provide L1 translations or L2 synonyms, definitions, or explanations of target words in input boxes below the lines of text. Raters mark responses online, and these judgments can be saved for partial automatic marking in future test use. 文脈化された語彙測定では、ターゲット項目が段落の中に現れる。単一語彙または限られた文脈の項目を用いるテストに比べて、文脈化された測定はより信頼性が高く、より優れた併存的妥当性を示している。意味想起語彙テストでは、受験者はターゲット語彙の意味を思い出し、通常は第二言語（L2）から第一言語（L1）への書記による翻訳で知識を示す。多肢選択形式と比較して、意味想起はより信頼性のあるデータをもたらし、読解力とより強い相関を示し、推測やテスト戦略の影響を受けにくい。語彙測定へのこれらのアプローチを支持するために、本稿では教師や研究者が文脈化された意味想起テストを作成、実施、採点するためのリソースを紹介している。利用者は文章を入力し、問題項目を選択、テストのURLを受験者と共有する。受験者は、テキストの下にある入力ボックスに対象語のL1翻訳やL2同義語、定義、またはその説明を入力する。採点者はオンラインで回答を評価し、正答とみなされる解答は将来のテスト利用時の自動採点のために保存できる。","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":"5 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, involving 196 Japanese university students, calculated the self-assessment bias of L2 speakers using many-facet Rasch measurement. Correlation analysis explored the relationship between self-assessment bias and L2 speaking proficiency with psychological traits including self-esteem, English speaking anxiety, and English speaking motivation. The results showed that self-assessment bias was related to the belief in effortism, in which a person correlates ability with intensity of effort, and the Dunning-Kruger effect, in which high-proficiency learners tend to underestimate and low-proficiency learners tend to overestimate their abilities. Specifically, overestimation related to low proficiency prevents L2 learners from accurately assessing their performance, whereas underestimation related to L2 learners’ belief that they lacked the effort to improve their speaking skills. 自己評価は時折第二言語技能の評価に使用されるが、ある程度の誤差が生じる。おそらくこの誤差には、第二言語 (L2) 習熟度や心理的特徴など、学習者自身によってもたらされる誤差が含まれる。本研究では196名の日本人大学生を対象に、多相ラッシュ分析を使ってL2スピーキング自己評価のバイアスを測定した。そして相関分析を用いて、自己評価バイアス、スピーキング習熟度、心理的特徴（自尊心、L2スピーキングの不安とモチベーション）の関係を調査した。その結果自己評価バイアスは、努力主義の信念とダニング・クルーガー効果と関連があることが明らかとなった。特に英語習熟度の低い学習者は自身のスピーキングパフォーマンスを過大評価する傾向があり、一方でスピーキング技能を伸ばす努力が不足していると考える学習者は過小評価する傾向にあることがわかった。","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":"5 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research with other groups of learners also tend to show a wide range of degrees of knowledge of word parts (Laufer & Cobb, 2020; Sasao & Webb, 2017). This lack of knowledge has important implications for vocabulary size and reading in English because a very large proportion of Level 6 word families (Bauer & Nation, 1993) include many family members that contain prefixes and suffixes. Related to this, a large proportion of the tokens in any text are complex words (Nation, 2022), that is, words containing affixes. The study of word parts is called morphology, and occasionally I will use this term and its adjective, morphological, when referring to word parts, largely because first language research on word parts uses the terms morphological awareness and morphological knowledge. Word part knowledge is closely related to vocabulary size, and vocabulary size is closely related to proficiency level. This article looks at this relationship and tries to relate these three factors using the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels. Brown et al. (2020)によると、日本人英語学習者は接辞や語根などの単語構成要素(word parts)に関する知識が不十分であるとされている。他の同分野における研究(Laufer & Cobb, 2020; Sasao & Webb, 2017)でも、単語構成要素に関する知識は学習者によって大きく異なることが示されている。こうした知識が欠けていることは、英語における語彙サイズや読む能力に大きな影響を与えることになる。なぜなら、Bauer and Nation (1993)の分類によるレベル6の単語の多くが、接頭辞や接尾辞を含んでいるからである。同様に、どのような文書でもかなりの部分が、接辞を含む複合語であるからだ(Nation, 2020)。こうした単語構成要素に関する学問を「形態論」という。単語構成要素について言及する場合、私はしばしばこの「形態論」やその形容詞形である「形態論的」という言葉を使う。母語における単語構成要素の研究では、「形態論的認識」や「形態素の知識」という言葉を使うからである。単語構成要素に関する知識は語彙サイズと密接な関係があり、語彙サイズは熟達度と密接な関係がある。この論文ではこうした関係を吟味し、CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Language) レベルを用いて、この3つの要素を結び付けることを試みる。","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":"6 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physically, she possessed beauty, long black hair, and a well-proportioned body with a deep-tanned complexion, which improved as she matured. Socially, she hailed from a lower-class American family, held various jobs as a seafood seller, book writer, and poet, and experienced discrimination and singledom. Her hobbies included reading books and collecting organisms from the marsh. Psychologically, she exhibited introversion, insecurity, sensitivity, irritability, selfishness, anxiety, and a reluctance to forgive. However, she also displayed independence, optimism, and a determined fighting spirit for survival, showcasing remarkable talent in painting and writing.
