Abstract

Test fairness becomes an aspect that needs to be considered when developing a test instrument. It is highly recommended that the instrument should not be biased for the test takers by ensuring that they do not behave differently among male and female test-takers. This study aims to examine the extent to which the items in an English proficiency test function differently across gender. Fifty reading items were examined and analyzed using a statistical method for detecting DIF. The items were individually tested for gender DIF using Rasch model analysis with the analysis tool of ConQuest. The results showed that six items were detected for DIF, three of which were basic comprehension items, and the other three were vocabulary questions. Some possible ways of dealing with DIF items were also discussed.

Abstract

Developing a test is a complex and reiterative process which subject to revision even if the items were developed by skilful item writers. Many commercial test publishers need to conduct test analysis, rather than trusting the item writers’ judgement and skills to improve the quality of items that need to be proven statistically after trying out was performed. This study is a part of test development process which aims to analyse the reading comprehension test items. One hundred multiple choice questions were pilot tested to 50 postgraduate students in one university. The pilot testing was aimed to investigate item quality which can further be developed better. The responses were then analysed using Classical Test Theory and using psychometric software called Lertap. The results showed that item difficulty level was mostly average. In terms of item discrimination, more than half of the total items were categorized marginal which required further modifications. This study suggests some recommendation that can be useful to improve the quality of the developed items.  Keywords: reading comprehension; item analysis; classical test theory; item difficulty; test development.

Abstract

Abstract: Intensive listening has gained significant attention in enhancing listening skills among students. While its benefits have been well documented in primary and secondary education, there is a notable gap in research regarding its implementation among university students. This study aims to address the gap by investigating the implementation of intensive listening at a higher education level, particularly exploring the students’ perceptions towards its implementation. By using a qualitative case study design, this study involved first-year students from English language education at one public university in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected using open-ended questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observation and analyzed thematically using NVivo software. Findings revealed that the students reported their positive perceptions regarding the implementation of intensive listening in the classroom which enhanced their listening skills, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Nevertheless, they encountered challenges with unfamiliar vocabulary, accent, and rate of speech. Several strategies to cope with the challenges were implemented, and it suggests the critical role of the lecturer in supporting the success of the implementation of intensive listening in the classroom.Keywords: Intensive listening; listening comprehension; listening strategies; university students.
