Washback and Impact

[@SuperNurti]

You are most welcome. Glad you found it useful. Do a search for the research and writings of Dianne Wall. Her work on washback - particularly the TOEFL Research Reports - are exceptionally insightful.

@@glennfulcher5625 I've read most literature on washback since I am doing a research on TOEIC washback in ESP classes for my doctoral study here in Indonesia. I am preparing for my defense in few months. Would it be alright If I drop few questions in your email? Thank you in advance, Prof. I am Nurti anyway

Thank you for your beneficial videos professor. I am just confused about does the washback effect changes the style of learning before the test or after the test. Greetings from Turkiye😊

In all the washback research it;s assumed that the leaning and teaching changes as a result of a new test being introduced. However, Dianne Wall has also shown that it can happen once a new test is ready for introduction, and the testing agency release details of constructs and structure - with likely content and item types. This is why it’s so important to have baseline data - what leaning and teaching is like before anyone knows about the new rest. Only then can you trace new practices to the test.
