Produktbeschreibung
This book embodies an original contribution to both the knowledge and research bases of the TOEFL iBT in specific, and the field of language testing and assessment in general. It is mainly intended to communicate practical implications, based on sound research evidence, that would enable prospective test takers to make the most of strategy use on the TOEFL-iBT reading section. The book reports on a study that employed an innovative, procedural integration of stimulated recall, self-observation, and retrospective interview in the exploration of test-taking strategies that Arab ESL learners use when responding to the TOEFL-iBT reading tasks. Such a mixed-method approach furnished data that were so much intricate as they were elaborate. The study revealed that strategy use is more ingenious and versatile than ever described in the related literature. The study report ends with very valuable implications for prospective test takers, classroom practice, and test-preparation programs. When such implications are implemented, prospective TOEFL test takers will be able to achieve their goals of performing and scoring at higher levels on the reading section of the iBT version of the test.
