| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the usefulness of a computer-mediated semi-direct test (hereafter CST) at a Japanese senior high school. The test, which has three evaluation items, fluency, correctness, and prosody, was developed through action research. The usefulness was examined in terms of validity, reliability, and practicality with the help of the Many-Faceted Rasch Measurement. As a result, some empirical evidence for construct validity was confirmed, and other forms of evidence were shown in terms of face validity. Inter-rater reliability between the two raters and each rater’s intra-rater reliability were found. Also, practicality was confirmed regarding the time spent conducting the test. In conclusion, some evidence for the usefulness was revealed and this suggests that CSTs might be one effective means to improve the rate of use of performance-based English speaking tests in high school.
