Session Abstract
Webinar: Automatic Text Analysis and Its Use in L2 Reading Assessment, by Dr. Aylin Ünaldı
Selection of the ‘right’ text is the most important step in reading test development. Justifying the appropriacy of the features of input texts for a specific assessment purpose and for the specific test taker group we have in mind is also a substantial validity argument.
This talk will review automatic texts analysis research and its use in reading assessment. It will also introduce several text analysis tools by demonstrating how they work, where they can be used and to what extent they can be relied on.
Dr. Aylin Ünaldı is currently working as a Senior Lecturer at University of Huddersfield, School of Education and Professional Development. She has an MA in Applied Linguistics (University of Reading, UK), a PhD in Applied Linguistics-Language Testing (Bogazici University, Turkey) and a PhD in Language Assessment from the University of Bedfordshire (UK). She has extensive experience in foreign language teaching, teacher training, test development and validation as well as lecturing at post-graduate level in TESOL and Language Assessment. Her research interests include language test validation, academic literacy (reading and writing) in foreign language, assessment of reading multiple-text level and reading into writing as an integrated academic skill.
Thank you for your interest.
