Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purposes of this study were to (1) develop an e-portfolio for voabulary learning and explore ways to utilize it in order to enhance self-efficacy in vocabulary learning and (2) create computerized adaptive tests for accurately measuring vocabulary development. During the period of this three-year funding, I have developed and released (free of charge) a vocabulary learning application, named "Kantango," which has an e-portfolio system and two types of computerized adaptive vocabulary tests for diagnostic purposes.
