Developing a CEFR-linked calibrated C-t...

The project initially aims to (i) identify texts suitable for generating C-tests; (ii) select appropriate software enabling automatic generation of C-tests; (iii) examine and apply existing regression formulae for predicting C-test scores; (iv) planning the research design, with particular focus on correlating C-test batteries with the Oxford Placement Test for the purpose of CEFR linking. This will involve collecting data from a minimum of 150 subjects, coding of test-sheets, and creating data files.
