Validating a Prototype Integrated Reading to Write Summary Task for Duolingo English Test: Does Enhanced Construct Representation Provide Better Prediction of Domain Performance?

This project will develop and validate prototype integrated read-to write tasks for the Duolingo English Test, an online English proficiency test, which issues certificates for English-as-Medium-of- Instruction universities to consider in admitting students who speak English as a second or foreign language. The integrated writing tasks will hopefully enhance the validity of DET test scores to predict students' academic performance in university.
