paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines429 - : Two methods have been frequently used to measure language proficiency: self-reports (e .g. Bylund & Athanasopoulos, 2014) and formal tests (e.g. Bylund & Jarvis, 2011(Bylund & Jarvis, 2011)). Scholars have questioned self-report surveys as valid and reliable measures of language proficiency (e.g. Dörnyei, 2001) mainly due to the subjectivity inherent in self-reports, as participants may over or under report their ability. Another criticism against self-reports is participants’ insufficient experience in self-assessment. Considering the criticism leveled at self-report, in the present study, Oxford Quick Placement Test (QPT; Oxford University Press, 2001) was used to divide participants into the three groups.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines469 - : proficiency levels, carried out three tasks: a picture description, a story retelling task performed individually, and a 20-minute interview with a NS . Findings showed that the learners selected certain CSs which were less or more informative depending on the task requirements, which were based on the demands, contextual information, time constraints and interlocutor. In an attempt to determine the effects of more naturalistic tasks, ^[72]Rabab’ah and Bulut (2007) conducted interviews between a learner and a NS, and a role-play activity between learners. The focus was on the achievement CSs used by Arabic L2 learners. Findings showed a higher use of CSs in the interview and a tendency for paraphrasing and restructuring. This result was also interpreted as due to the task requirements which seemed to have demanded a wider range and more complex vocabulary use. The role-play, on the other hand, seemed to be less demanding because the learners restricted their communication turns to what was

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines601 - : This difference may lay in the level of the writers’ proficiency: beginning and intermediate L2 learners would still be expected to use many cohesive devices regardless of their age (and therefore a high incidence of these would be very positively assessed ), whereas advanced and proficient writers would be expected to achieve more native-like levels of explicit cohesion and would therefore reduce their use of local cohesive devices. Then, the above-mentioned u-shaped curve would only culminate for L2 writers who achieve a very high level of proficiency. For the rest, the evolution might as well trace a diagonal straight line until becoming stable.
