Obtaining quick and reliable evidence regarding the proficiency of learners is a perennial issue in second language (L2) learning research. In this study, we examined naturalistic utterance recall as a measure of L2 learning proficiency that can be easily extracted from videos and automatically scored using the video’s captions. In our recall task, learners listen to audio clips and write down as much of the utterance as they can remember. We evaluated this naturalistic recall task with a sample of English native speakers who are learning Spanish at beginner to advanced levels, as well as Spanish native speakers. The results suggest that our recall measure is a better predictor of a learner’s ability to translate heard sentences than a shortened version of a standardized listening multiple-choice comprehension test. Our findings suggest naturalistic utterance recall can offer an accurate and efficient method for predicting foreign language proficiency.

使用话语回忆来评估第二语言能力

获得关于学习者熟练程度的快速可靠的证据是第二语言 (L2) 学习研究中的一个长期问题。在这项研究中,我们检查了自然话语回忆作为 L2 学习熟练程度的衡量标准,可以轻松地从视频中提取并使用视频的字幕自动评分。在我们的回忆任务中,学习者听音频剪辑并尽可能多地记下他们能记住的话语。我们使用从初级到高级学习西班牙语的英语母语人士以及西班牙语母语人士的样本评估了这项自然回忆任务。结果表明,与标准化听力多项选择理解测试的缩短版本相比,我们的回忆测量更能预测学习者翻译所听句子的能力。
