项目摘要

During the research stage for the academic year 2021-2022, the initial pilot-testing phase revealed issues with the use of the screen-based eye-tracking software. The issue related to the use of a paper-based component of the assessment, which resulted in participants waffling between the monitor, where their eye patterns were tracked, and the response sheet. This resulted in calibration issues. To resolve this, in the academic year 2022-2023, I redesigned all of the item prompts so that the original paper-based portions of the video-based pragmatic assessment were manipulated digitally and added to the screen-based version. This allowed for all aspects of the assessment to be part of the stimuli captured by eye-tracking software. I have accomplished these fixes and further pilot testing has revealed that participants no longer waffle their eye movements during the data collection procedures. Now, rather than writing item responses on a separate piece of paper, participants vocalize their choices aloud and are audio-recorded. This data, along with researcher notes, are added to the data captured by the eye-tracker. Research so far suggests that learners attend to speakers’ facial expressions and gestures presented on screen in a fashion similar to how individuals attend to real-world communication behaviors. This preliminary finding supports calls researchers have made for increased use of authentic resources in both second language instruction and assessment.

在 2021-2022 学年的研究阶段，最初的试点测试阶段暴露了基于屏幕的眼球追踪软件的使用问题。该问题与评估中纸质部分的使用有关，这导致参与者在跟踪他们的眼部模式的监视器和回答表之间犹豫不决。这导致了校准问题。为了解决这个问题，在 2022-2023 学年，我重新设计了所有项目提示，以便对基于视频的语用评估的原始纸质部分进行数字化操作，并将其添加到基于屏幕的版本中。这使得评估的各个方面都成为眼动追踪软件捕获的刺激的一部分。我已经完成了这些修复，并且进一步的试点测试表明，参与者在数据收集过程中不再胡思乱想他们的眼球运动。现在，参与者不再将项目答案写在单独的纸上，而是大声说出他们的选择并进行录音。这些数据与研究人员的笔记一起被添加到眼动仪捕获的数据中。迄今为止的研究表明，学习者会以类似于个人关注现实世界交流行为的方式关注屏幕上呈现的演讲者的面部表情和手势。这一初步发现支持了研究人员在第二语言教学和评估中增加使用真实资源的呼吁。
