================================================================
This study held to know the effect of using
videos in assessing listening skill in a placement test in Iran. The test
involves 100 language learners that assigned into two groups. An experimental
group recieve oxford placement test, and
a control group recieved video placement test. Each group contains 50 subjects.
All the subjects were assessed by a multiplechoice test based on video activity
books named ‘Four Corners and English Result’.
The findings obtained in this study led to the
conclusion that most of the raters admitted that applying video clips can
improve the quality of placement tests. They also believe that the video
placement test was a good indicator of an accurate placement test and assessed
the participants’ performances during the placement test appropriately;
therefore, the institute could use video as a facilitator channel for assessing
the participants’ skills.
In Indonesia, using this method –using video clips as an
assessment tool– can be an interesting way in listening placement tests. Which
it will attract more people to be a english learner.
in this review, there is no citation, there is just a reference about the author, title, and the publisher not a APA style's citation. the first paragraph was good, it was explain about the aim, the sample data, the method. this review also explain about the findings of the study about, but the implication of this study is needed more. the writer should add some more implication which this study is can be use in Indonesia and the effectiveness to the listening assessment.
ReplyDeleteSuch a short post ya, however it's good. You directly go to the core of the journal and as a reader I can get the point easily. Maybe you can give more explanation on the implementation on the teaching learning activity.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
Keep read and write! ^^
The review is short and to the point. but I think it would be better to use citation instead of just the title
