Abstract
|
:
|
This study aimed to determine whether different instructional procedures involving Dynamic Assessment (DA) led to improvement of L2 grammar used in EFL classrooms. In doing so, 128 intermediate-level language learners whose ages ranged between 12 and 17 at Mehrzad Language Institute were selected based on a convenience sampling method. The targeted samples were randomly assigned to four groups serving as experimental and control groups. The first group was taught grammar using cake DA, while the second group receive instruction on the same grammatical areas employing sandwich DA. Finally, for teaching grammar to the third group, both versions of DA were hybridized. Subsequently, a TOEFL Structure Test (TST) pretest and the posttest were administered to both experimental groups and the fourth sample which served as the control group. The data obtained from the measurement instruments and the relevant statistical techniques revealed that all groups receiving DA practices outperformed the participants in the control group. However, those receiving both types of DA (i.e. the hybrid group) had emulated the performance of the students in other classes. Notably, the findings of this research may have important implications for material developers, syllabus designers, and language teachers..
