Overview

Qualitative interview study reveals EFL students' perspectives on assessment using EnglishCentral, highlighting implications for engagement.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore EFL students’ experiences with the EnglishCentral platform as part of high-stakes assessments in a Turkish university.
  • Conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with six students in an intensive English program entirely in Turkish.
  • Analyzed data using reflexive thematic analysis based on Bachman and Palmer’s test usefulness framework.
  • Students reported gains in vocabulary and listening skills but primarily used the platform to secure Language Portfolio points.
  • Engagement was often driven by the need to meet assessment demands, leading to task completion prioritization over genuine learning.
  • Concerns about misalignment with institutional exams and fairness issues affected students' perception of the platform's effectiveness.
