Measuring Interactional Competence in a Japanese University EFL Speaking Context
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ability to interact is an integral aspect of speaking proficiency. Therefore, methods of assessing interaction need to be incorporated into second language (L2) speaking tests. The main purpose of this exploratory study is to attempt to quantify interactional competence (IC) in a Japanese university EFL (English as a foreign language ...

Finetuning Pre‐Trained Language Models for Automatic Assessment of English‐Chinese Interpreting
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent years have seen growing interest in leveraging pre‐trained language models (PLMs) for automatic assessment of spoken‐language performance. Contributing to this emerging line of work, the present study offers the first attempt to finetune two PLMs, GTE‐multilingual and mmBERT, for assessing English‐Chinese interpreting, using over 1700 ...
