✅ The Equivalence of Direct and ➕ Semi 🚛-Direct Speaking 🗣️ Tests documents 📃 a comparability study of direct (face 😀-to-face 😀) and ➕ semi 🚛-direct (language laboratory) versions of the speaking 🗣️ component of the access ♿️ test: an English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 language test designed in the 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣0️⃣s as part of the selection process for immigration to Australia ​🇦🇺​. In the study the issue of test equivalence is explored using a range of quantitative and ➕ qualitative evidence 🧾 including test scores 🎼, test taker language output and ➕ feedback from various players in the test process including members of the development 👨‍💻️ team, test candidates, interviewers and ➕ raters. The findings 🔎 have important implications for the use of direct and ➕ semi 🚛-direct speaking 🗣️ tests in various high-stakes contexts such as immigration and ➕ university entrance. As such this will be of interest to policy-makers and ➕ administrators as well as language teachers 👨‍🏫 and ➕ language testing researchers.
