Is there any suitable assessment for testing the effect of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) on college students' EFL receptive skills (reading and listening)?
Difinitely, you may use Oxford Placement Test (If your learning language is English) along with Descriptive Analysis of the Data in order to assess the effect of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) on students' receptive skills (reading and listening).
You can use the reading and listening parts of a PET test (if the students are at the intermediate level) before and after the treatment of MALL. You may use one version of PET in the pretest and another version in the posttest, then you can compare their results to find the effect of the treatment.
Dear Changhong Peng,
I suppose student level is an important variable in this equation, hence a standardised test would be much appreciated both by teachers and students as its content is based on syllabus requirements which are predicated on theories and research on language proficiency that allows for an outcome whose criteria and specifications, especially in large-scale tests, must be consistent and not vary from one test to the next. This way you will ensure that the pre-test will not diverge from the post-test. In terms of student competency levels or students having to meet a benchmark, or exceed it, a standardised test will ensure greater reliability of results. Examples of standardised tests in the field of teaching English as a foreign language are the CPE and the ECPE tests, the IELTS test as well as the FCE and ECCE tests, among others. Free tests in PDF format are available for downloading from michiganassessment.org or cambridgeenglish.org, however, there may only be one test available there, which serves for you to decide what suits your students best, since it will not cover both the pre and post test need. Once a decision has been made, you can order the test book along with its CDs or opt for the downloadable audio files where available.
Best of luck !
