Kathrin Eberharter is currently a senior lecturer at the University of Innsbruck, where she guides pre-service teachers in the principles of best practice for language testing and assessment. She earned an Austrian teaching degree and completed her MA and PhD at Lancaster University, specializing in language testing. Her primary research interests centre on evaluating L2 writing and speaking, with a dedicated focus on task development, writing processes, rating scale design, and rater cognition and training.
Elisa Guggenbichler is a PhD candidate at the University of Innsbruck, focussing on second language listening assessment. Elisa holds a teaching degree for English and French as foreign languages and a BA degree in Translation studies, both from the University of Innsbruck. Elisa has experience as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Innsbruck, where she has been involved in the training of future language teachers and contributed to a number of research projects on language assessment. In her PhD project, Elisa explores the effect of self-paced listening and how it may help increase test fairness for language learners with access needs.
Digital listening tasks increasingly allow learners to pause and rewind the audio recording, and there are recommendations that such self-paced listening may help learners with learning difficulties. But (how) do different learners, specifically those with dyslexia, benefit from self-paced listening? May self-paced listening make listening assessments fairer?
In this talk, we will present and discuss two large studies we have conducted with Austrian lower- and upper-secondary students on the effect of self-paced listening in listening tests.
