Description

The study's treatment followed a 14-week integrated sequence printed in Table 1, moving from a pre-CRA through intervening curriculum-based instruction, dynamic practice sessions, CRA-based DSAs, and a post-CRA revised to include the common-error DRA. This pattern embeds dynamic assessment inside a standard course calendar rather than treating assessment as a separate end-of-course event.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• A pre-/post-CRA with intervening curriculum-based instruction and dynamic practice sessions

Constraints

• The control group's speaking assessments were non-dynamic and curriculum-based

Target Learners

• First-year university L2 learners

Learning Goals

• L2 speaking development

Claims

• Integrating dynamic speaking assessments with standardized criterion-referenced assessments significantly improves post-test performance [+W]
• Integrating dynamic and standardized assessments produces positive washback and higher task-intrinsic motivation [+W]

Related Designs

• Curriculum-based dynamic assessment integrates curriculum-based and dynamic assessment in a pre-assessment, intervention, post-assessment format
