Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A cross-comparison of theoretical, test, and coursebook subskill lists, with repetitions eliminated, produced ten common RC/LC subskills, seven reading-exclusive subskills, and four listening-exclusive subskills. → Aynur Ismayilli Karakoc 2019

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Document-analysis study compiling subskills from applied linguistics literature, nine international EFL/ESL proficiency test manuals, and tasks from five widely used coursebook series. The article reports that "The findings suggested ten common reading and listening subskills" with seven reading-exclusive and four listening-exclusive subskills.
"The findings suggested ten common reading and listening subskills. The subskills exclusive to reading were seven, and exclusive to listening were four."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Subskill taxonomies in the literature come from both empirical investigations and theory, with no consensus on the number of subskills — a broader claim this one bears on
- Reading and listening comprehension are not unitary: both consist of similar and different subskills — a broader claim this one bears on
